BRAVO!

[Franciscque]

A great performance ! Herbert Schuch is one of the best of his generation. I wonder if you have the rest of the Emperor Concerto. Thank you.

actually it really is a bit weird to just see the conductor when the orchester plays...

[etude12]

Oh, don't you know? It has become a tradition in classical music to employ an old man to dance in front of the orchestra, in case the soloist becomes too boring for certain ignorant audience members...!

Anyway, to move on from the fun of taking the piss, I love this rendition; beautiful clear tone from Schuch, and the orchestra is very good- I know the flautist started laughing at the silly old man (!) at 6:37, but the meditative, timeless quality was communicated beautifully.
