The Beethoven symphonies are many excellent and different interpretations. The piano concertos me has excited little completely. The classical approach with thunderous wings and massive strings (Zimerman / Bernstein, Brendel / Rattle example) or filigraneres orchestral playing of historically informed faction for most with fortepiano or on a harpsichord usually werkelnden also zweitklassigem pianist, to almost always too fast in the second set, because the metronome that yes so requires - somehow I was there never satisfied completely, then attacked mostly for old recording with Claudio Arrau and Bernard Haitink. Now Leif Ove Andsnes appears as soloist and conductor with the Mahler Chamber Orchestra succeeded in squaring the circle: Without Tempo doctrine he designed the piano part sonorous and flexible. For this to make it that of course to move from many soloists existing Mahler Chamber Orchestra communicate into a pleasurable, exciting each other. The fetzt, swings and enthusiastically from the first bar of the first Piano Concerto: The sneaks easily mozärtlich in, and then immediately Beethoven's pride "Look, it's me" to demonstrate forcefully, but without all the timpani brutalities some original sound conductors. Breathe The slow movements and swing from, the final rondo have wit and whistle - spellbound to hear nearly 70 minutes. Let's hope the Andsnes Beethoven travel continues. Unconditional recommendation actually for all fans of classical music.
