Title: Not that good
Review: I borrowed this one frow the local library, and expected great things from one of my preferred pianists András Schiff. First track I heard was the Rondo, as it is my favourite part of the concerto. The sound however was very hazy and a strange kind of echo is heard, especially in parts where Schiff is making too much use of the pedal, which devastates the joyful, swift and mainly punctual performance this piece of music asks for. Off to the adagio then, which is beautifully played, but again lacks the clearness I'm looking for. I won't recommend this set for anyone new to Brahms; instead I'd try the GILELS/JOCHUM set from DG. This one provides crystal clear piano playing and a wonderful sound.
