Beethoven: Piano Concertos no 2 & 5 / Kissin, Levine

Notes & Reviews:

"One's first impression is of the orchestra...the playing crisp and sparkling, with Levine drawing from the Philharmonia playing that is both spirited and engaged...From his own very first entry, Kissin is revealed as a Beethoven player of great articulacy, brilliance and sensitivity after the manner of such pianists as Kempff, Solomon, and Gilels...The post-war Schnabel recordings apart, there are currently no direct rivals where this coupling is concerned." -RO, Gramophone
