A Large Tulip label pressing of this wonderful piano concerto with solid Double Plus (A++) grades or BETTER from start to finish
Side one was sonically very close to our Shootout Winner – you will be amazed at how big and rich and tubey the sound is
It’s also impossibly quiet at Mint Minus to Mint Minus Minus, a grade that practically none of our vintage classical titles – even the most well-cared-for ones – ever play at
By far our favorite performance for the work, and fortunately for us audiophiles, it is also the best sounding recording of the work that we know of
With huge amounts of hall space, weight and energy, this is Demo Disc quality sound by any standard
When the brass is the way it is here – rich and clear, not thin and shrill – you have yourself a top quality DG pressing
Virtually no smear to the strings, horns or piano – this is Golden Age recording done right!
