【MONO】 Kemp, BPO Beethoven: Piano Concertos Nos. 5 & 4 ✴︎ This recording features Kemp in his prime, representing his concerto recordings from this period. Unlike the spiritually refined performances of his later stereo recordings with Leitner, here we hear Kemp in the most vibrant form of the 1950s. The piano of Kemp during this period, with each note pulsating, possesses a musical power not found in his later years. The same can be said for his piano sonata complete recordings from the same period, and these mono recordings shine just as brightly as those from the stereo era. Furthermore, the backing orchestra is the Berlin Philharmonic under the conductor Paul van Kempen, who is now becoming a legend, and the Berlin Philharmonic from the Furtwängler era. The performance of the last great masters unfolds here. ⭐️ There are no particularly noticeable stains or folds. It is like new. - Title: Beethoven: Piano Concertos Nos. 5 & 4 - Artist: Wilhelm Kempff - Orchestra: Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra - Label: Deutsche Grammophon - Format: CD - Product Number: POCG-90122 Thank you for viewing.
