Beethoven: Piano Concerto 4 & 5

Excellent. Beautiful concerti, and one can always count on Pollini for a forceful virtuoso interpretation. And Beethoven asks for one, of course.

Brahms: Piano Concertos

This is a fantastic CD from Deutsche Grammophon. Great virtuosismo and expressiveness. The orchestra is soft and full in the 2nd concerto. Supreme combination of Claudio Abbado and Maurizio Pollini.
Then I listened to the Tragic Ouverture, which was new to me. Energetic and melodic, delightful.
Lastly I would comment on the beauty of the first and third movements of the 1st concerto.
All directed by Karl Böhm and the Wiener Philharmoniker, except 2nd concerto directed by Claudio Abbado, pianist Maurizio Pollini
