Music reviews of Beethoven: Piano Concerto No. 5 / Triple Concerto (Essential Classics)
Music Review: Great Performances, Lousy Remastering of the Emperor
Rating: 4 Stars
The critical consensus regarding Beethoven's Triple Concerto identifies Oistrakh, Rostropovich, Richter, Karajan, Berlin PO recording as the definitive recording. While an excellent performance, I disagree with the consensus. Stern, Rose, Istomin, and, yes, Ormandy and his Philadelphians delivery superb, rhythmically incisive reading that, due to the wonderful phrasing of both soloists and ensemble, makes for more satisfying listening. Stern, Rose, and Istomin don't wear their virtuosity on the their sleeves the way that Rostropovich and, to a lesser degree, Oistrakh seem to do. In short, the Americans got their musical priorities right in a way that I'm afraid their Soviet counterparts did not.
The rightly acclaimed Fleisher/Szell/Cleveland recording of the Emperor opens this wondeful disc; other reviewers have said enough about this fine performance. I will caution, though, that the remastering suffers, especially at the beginning of the concerto, from some noticeable, fuzzy distortion. (I don't know if the defect is present in the original masters or in subsequent reissues on LP and CD of the performance.) This minor flaw doesn't detract from the overall recording, though: I recommend it highly.
