- >ยท Subject: SURVEY: FAVORITE PIANO CONCERTO
-
- JG>I must admit I'm starting to enjoy these "Greatest All-Time" and "Favorite"
- >threads, so I'm starting another one. :-) The question is, What is your
- >favorite piano concerto?
-
- JG>And a very important sub-question: What's your favorite *Beethoven* piano
- >concerto?
-
- Everyone knows the 4th is the greatest of Beethoven's ....
-
- No record collection should be without Barenboim/Klemperer in this work.
- The slow movement in their hands is as heavenly as music gets.
-
- Among great 5ths, Michelangeli/Celibedache/Paris make a good choice or
- Fischer/Furtwaengler in studio.
-
- The 3rd is pretty rousing, too: You might try the often overlooked
- Pollini/Boehm.
-
- The 1st has rarely sounded as good a work as in Gould/Golschmann's hands
- ... for that matteer, Gould/Bernstein in the 2nd is a great treat too!
-
- As for other composers ... won't someone nominate Brahms 1 and 2?
