AMAZING! It was a great mistake to be repelled only because it was a name I didn't reconize. Thanks a lot for this. Now I really want to hear his Busoni and Bliss...
just found this, while looking for the argerich, which seems to have been removed.
sounds like a promising start.
anyone else a fan of anna vinnitskaya's june 2007 performance of this at the queen elisabeth competition in brussels? that's what put this piece on the map for me.
Noel Mewton-Wood is completely on par with great pianists like Sviatoslav Richter, Wladimir Sofronitsky, Edwin Fischer, Arthur Rubinstein and Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli. His sound is wonderfully clear, yet very sonorous. His rhythm is very exact, but free at the same moment. When I would be forced to take only one pianist to the imaginary pacific island it would be defenitely M-W. His Piano Concerto recordings of Tchaikovsky, Chopin, Schumann and Beethoven belong to the very very best.
Love it!

These Concert Hall recordings had a wonderful sound. Goehr was a great conductor, also in this great piece. Thanks for posting.

ericpaulpianist is absolutely right and I agree with him!
M-Ws Bliss Concerto and the Busoni-Concerto are also remarkable and belong to the finest records of these Concerti.
Thanks to imusiciki for uploading and remembering Noel Mewton-Wood.
