The pinnacle of lyricism woven by Rachmaninoff and Franck
A masterpiece performance of the Piano Concerto by Alexis Weissenberg and Herbert von Karajan.
In Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 2, Weissenberg's powerful touch is beautifully combined with the rich sonority of the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Karajan. In Franck's Symphonic Variations, a more delicate and poetic expression comes to the forefront, highlighting the work's profound spirituality. The 1972 recording fully captures the romantic charm of both works, highlighting the performers' deep interpretation and technical skill. This recording remains highly regarded as a masterpiece of piano concertos.
