Probably the most beautiful orchestral accompaniment that befell those Concertos

For Schumann, George Szell gets his Cleveland Orchestra a chamber transparency and overall lean frame, which shimmers with subtle reflections by controlling vibrato and articulation copy bows.
His visionary leadership is supported by a narrative momentum that bypasses the ruts sentimentalists expressive substance and quintessence of each movement.
The compact typing Leon Fleischer lacks neither velocity nor precision, and the curve of her phrasing is participating in this streamlined approach.

The crystalline purity of its keyboard is even more sparkling in the Grieg Concerto: Adagio reveals fluidity can agglomerate without losing its luster, like water suddenly turned to ice.
Accompanying woven by the Hungarian leader proves again extraordinarily refined, perfectly legible without the coldness that is sometimes criticized that wand.
The rocky landscapes of the two Allegros are flown to a daunting artistic altitude.
What other versions are they able to offer us this panoramic view without leaving anything we ignore the detail?

The sound of catches remain absolutely superb and this album confirms its place at the top of Excellence of the discography of these two works.
