This recording by Zimmerman and the Berlin Philharmonic under Karajan combines perfect technique with stunning acoustic beauty, making it an enduring bestseller.
The moment the piano begins to play, the air in the room becomes tense, and one is overwhelmed by the incredible concentration. This monumental album sees Zimmerman, then in his mid-twenties, go head-to-head with the accomplished Karajan and Berlin Philharmonic. Sparks fly between the passion of a young talent and the perfectionism of a master, making this a masterpiece that cannot be overlooked when discussing Romantic concertos.
