Reviews

FonoForum 3/2001: “The Viennese recordings (of the symphonies) are characterized by a fruity, full sound, which matched the full-bodied, pithy string sound of the Philharmoniker. The interpretations are animated by a broadly swinging, cantabile melos.” FonoForum 6/1994: “Here a complete recording (of the piano concertos) has succeeded which, due to its straightforward straightforwardness and stringent realization of its concept, has absolute validity and will probably continue to have it for a long time.”
