highly recommended

I love this recording and recommend it to anyone.

If you like exhilarative, romantic piano music, then this is the CD for you.

I shall comment on the First Piano Concerto: Murray Perahia, really puts his heart and soul into this recording. The crispness and ease of the arpeggios at the beginning of the first movement really sets the concerto off wonderfully. I have listened to several recordings of this concerto and I feel that this one is by far the best. The passage leading up to Murray's solo section is delightful. He makes the piano sing and his touch and artistic feeling at that moment is something quite special.

The last movement is fiery, energetic and full of enthausiasm. This movement really gets the adrenalin pumping for me!

If you are a lover of Mendelssohn and/or romantic music, this CD is a must!

Formidable!

This is the kind of recording that you would be hesitant to listen to after several hearings. Not that it's poor - quite the opposite, it's simply perfect. Here we have Perahia as the magician on the piano. Technical problem seems to be millions of years away from him. Just listen to the finale of the First Concerto, and you'll understand what I'm talking about. Other recordings of these repertory are available, but here everything works out perfectly. Thanks also to Marriner and his superlative ASMF.

Don't hesitate to buy!
