¡Brahms: Piano Concerto No. 2
¡Rudolf Serkin (piano)
Description
[Machine Translation] [The most well-known recording of the Brahms Piano Concerto by Rudolf Zelkin is the stereo recording made with Sell and the Cleveland Orchestra in the late 1960s, but this recording with Ormandy and the Philadelphia Orchestra, made six years earlier in the early stereo era, clearly marks the greatness of Zelkin, who was at the peak of his powers of mind, technique and body. This recording with Ormandy and the Philadelphia Orchestra, made six years earlier, clearly shows Zelkin at his peak of physical and mental perfection. The rich Philadelphia sound of Ormandy provides the backdrop for Zelkin's richly flavored piano, which is simple but full of power, and his determination to get to the heart of the work leaves an overwhelming impression on the listener. Recorded April 4, 1960 at Broadwood Hotel, Philadelphia
