Curiously, he never recorded Brahm’s first piano concerto. Recorded on 24-28 October 1969 at the Salle Wagram, Paris. Produced by Christfried Bickenbach and Eric Macleod and Engineered by Allan Stagg. Cut at Abbey Road Studios from the original stereo analogue master tapes with the Neumann VMS82 lathe fed an analogue pre-cut signal from a specially adapted Studer A80 tape deck with additional ‘advance’ playback head, making the cut a totally analogue process. Pressed on 180g vinyl to audiophile standards Featuring the original album artwork In the original October 1970 review Trevor Harvey of the GRAMOPHONE wrote: “This is a magnificent performance. As sheer piano playing, for a start – however much you may think other aspects of the work matter more, you can hardly help enjoying the extraordinary range of the pianism, for there is scarcely a passage that doesn’t bring new delights… There is everything here; the power, the darting delicacy and, above all, the most beautifully expressive soft playing… I have a list as long as my arm of splendid things about this performance, from Maazel as well as from Richter. And not least is the piano tone, which is superbly caught in every way from brilliance to the most lovely quiet warmth…” Artist Brahms/Richter/Orchestre de Paris Genre Classical Label Hi Q Buying Options 180g 1LP Format 180g , 1LP Condition New Country United Kingdom Track Listings Side One Brahms: Piano Concerto No.2 in B Flat, op.83 1.
