Schumann: Piano Concerto in Am Op54; Brahms: Piano Concerto in Dm No1, Op15

Editorial Reviews

Ivan Moravec has made gorgeous studio recordings of both of these concertos. He sounds more adventurous in front of a live audience in the Schumann; taking more chances with rubato and pushing the music toward even more intense expression. It's not ideal playing for this piece, but it works on this occasion and produces a memorable performance, with Edoardo Mata and the orchestra following the soloist's lead very effectively. Conversely, Moravec's studio recording of the Brahms seems even more intense than the live performance, though it, too, is very good. There's a lot of great music (79:38) on this well-recorded disc. --Leslie Gerber

5 out of 5 stars Moravec recordings of these works are still available. .......2006-02-22

Sadly, this fabulous recording became unavailable when Dorian went out of business. The good news is that Ivan Moravec recorded both of these concertos for Supraphon, thanks to whom both recordings are still available (cat. nos. SU 3508 and SU 3865). And they include additional Schumann and Brahms: the Kinderszenen and the Second Concerto.
