Album Notes & Community Reviews

Captured by the celebrated pianist Walter Gieseking and conductor Herbert von Karajan, this recording is a towering achievement in the interpretation of the romantic concerto. Gieseking鈥檚 famous tonal shading and immense technical power brilliantly animate Grieg's sweeping, folk-inspired melodies. The release is widely considered a definitive mid-century classic.
