Our Take

Stephen Kovacevich and Colin Davis team up to deliver an electrifying performance of Beethoven's Piano Concertos 2 and 4, and let me tell you, it's a real musical rollercoaster. Kovacevich's fingers dance effortlessly across the keys, his passion for the music evident in every note. Davis conducts with precision, guiding the orchestra through the complex and dynamic passages with ease.

The opening Allegro of Piano Concerto 2 is a whirlwind of energy, with Kovacevich's piano leading the charge. The Andante is a breathtaking display of emotion, as Kovacevich explores the depths of Beethoven's soul-stirring melodies. The final Rondo is a flurry of notes, Kovacevich and the orchestra in perfect sync as they bring the concerto to a triumphant close.

Piano Concerto 4 is a different beast altogether, with its hauntingly beautiful opening Largo setting the stage for a performance of unmatched power and grace. Kovacevich's interpretation is nothing short of mesmerising, his playing both technically flawless and emotionally resonant. The Allegro vivace is a whirlwind of energy, Kovacevich dazzling with his lightning-fast fingers and Davis guiding the orchestra with aplomb.

In short, this album is a must-listen for any lover of classical music. Kovacevich and Davis are a match made in musical heaven, delivering an unforgettable performance that will leave you wanting more. Don't miss out on this gem of a recording.
