The best performance I know for Piano Concerto no. 4
B. Brown | Jerusalem Israel | 01/27/2002
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Curzon and Knappertsbusch's Emperor is alright, but nothing special. It is the Piano Concerto no 4. that makes it so unique. Already in Curzon's entrance you feel the difference. The 2nd mvt is simply electricizing, as the dialogue between the piano and the orchestra takes place: Curzon is a paragon for gentle, sensitive playing while Knappertsbusch, an opera conductor, knows how to give a drama. The combination of the two makes this performance the best I know for this work, and I've heard many."
