One of the best performances I have seen in recent months . Clear sound , excellent co ordination of solist and orchestra , magnificent chorus singing . The way the pianist deployed the melodies with passion , yet sentimentally was exceptional . Great performance and Congratulations to all artists .
This piece is one of the underrated piece by Beethoven, often overshadoded by his symphonies and piano concertos. This performace is superb with clarity an precision. I like the size of the orchestra and choir. You do not the six soloists as in other performances, the choir carries the weights. Everytime I hear the passage from 16:29 onwards, my spiritt got escalated to another level.....Well done!
The piano doesn't has a beautiful sound, and the pianist plays too harsh. I don't find passion in her playing, but a hard and mechanic temperament. Obviously her technique is remarkable. Orchestra and choir: great.
