5.0 out of 5 stars wonderful, classic performances 1 May 2007
By Mr. Ian A. Macfarlane TOP 100 REVIEWER
Format:Audio CD
The Triple Concerto is slightly problematic Beethoven. Balance is difficult, for a start. The material is attractive but rather four-square, not Beethoven at his best. It needs a little special pleading, and that is exactly what it gets here from these wonderful Russian musicians. Karajan's orchestral contribution is good, not overblown as sometimes he could be, and it sets the scene well for the assured, beautifully phrased, lyrical, energetic playing of Oistrakh, Rostropovich and Richter. This was Radio 3's 'First Choice' on CD Review fairly recently, and it is easy to see why. The Brahms, a work I prefer though again a slightly problematic one, is every bit is good, and I like Szell's leaner orchestral approach. This is a truly wonderful CD and I cannot recommend it highly enough.

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT REMASTERING OF A CLASSIC RECORDING 17 Jan 2011
By Ian
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
EMI have come up here with another brilliantly remastered classic recording. It is hard to imagine the coming together of a more outstanding group of musicians than Rostropovich, Richter and Oistrakh and then with Karajan and the Berlin Philharmonic thrown in for good measure. Quite outstanding and highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Greatest Recording Of Beethoven's Triple Concerto 13 April 2001
By nmaclardie@onetel.net.uk
Format:Audio CD
If you have never heard the triple concerto performed, you are in for a wonderful treat with this recording. The piece is startlingly fresh and vibrant and is truly a timeless classic that will never fade. This is undoubtedly the definitive recording and it may well rank as one of the greatest of all classical recordings. Herbert von Karajan drives the Berlin Philarmonic Orchestra and soloists at a dramatic pace and yet, he still manages to extract every ounce of emotion and beauty from the work. Happily,this is the coming together of a maestro conductor, his orchestra in world-beating form, three soloists who are genuine virtuosi and a great masterpiece from Beethoven. The music and performance are sumptuos; from the exhilarating opening to the finale, you'll be enthralled and excited by this magnificent recording.

The Brahm's Double is also a beautiful piece but in this case, it has a very hard act to follow.

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic recording
Two great performances of two great works. A classic disc for anyones record shelf. Although now a somewhat elderly recording one forgets on listening.
