Beethoven: Piano Concerto number 1 in C- Major, opus 15,as performed by Ms. Argerich and Seiji Ozawa conducting.
This recording will be avauiable in February 2018.
Here is the same music with the same artists, as recorded many years earlier:
I have just listened to this much older recording of the same artists. Both very wonderful and both worth having.. In this latest new recording in Japan they still radiate a ‘youngness of heart’, full with new accents and color, even at their much older and riper ages! Both great musicians who absolutely love Music with a big M. Truly, this new recording is such an ear opener. I feel only gratitude for knowing and hearing those very great musicians, their passion, their refreshing musicality and… their technique to make all this possible! Thank you Serge and Martha!
