  • I think Mr. Ashkenazy's tone may be suffering due to a badly recorded piano here. He's an incredibly forceful player when he wants to be, incredibly quiet when he wants to be.

  • "perfection as normal case - thus i know nobody, who recorded so much - and everything in so high quality!" (German)

  • @doublestop100 hehehehehehe....

  • @MyLordLoke This concerto, yes; this performance, nope.

  • What a heck, a whole bunch of smashed keys from reh Letter D (esp. mm. 280 to 283), at around 6:30, it pains my ears! He murders the whole first page of Letter D, mm. 278-286. Men, I can play this section (and a lot more), faster and without smashing the neighbouring keys!

  • @elpapaya94 Because Brahms originally intended to write it as a symphony...

  • Brahms finished composing this 2 years after his friend Robert Schumann attempted suicide and became mad, finally dying in 1856. (according to Wikipedia)...That's why this concerto is so sad...Besides, I thought it sounded more like a symphony and Wikipedia confirmed that it originally was intended to be one.

  • What's with the 2 dislikes?...@chuck13s...for me it is not creepy, but it brings tears to my eyes...the 2nd theme is like a love song of unrequited love..

  • Actually this isn't bad. I still like best Rudolf Serkin, piano, Cleveland Orchestra, George Szell best, CBS Masterworks.

  • 4:23 - butchered!

  • Very beautiful!

  • why is the first movement so long?
