CD Reviews

Never bettered!

John N. Taylor | Palm Desert, CA, USA | 04/03/2007

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I bought the original 10" LP of the 4th concerto while still at school and the performance has remained a favorite ever since!

It seems exactly RIGHT!

I have several other performances - but this is the one I return to again when I want the best.

Gilels is extraordinary in Beethoven and Brahms and this is one of his finest performeances.

If you are interested in great piano playing - buy this CD - especially at such a good price - you won't regret it!"
