Title: There is better
Review: This is not a bad performance of the Brahms concerto, but it's nothing very special either. I mean, the finest ever? Come on. Gutierrez is a solid pianist but not one who does anything particularly interesting, and the same can be said about Previn's conducting. For a modern performance that uses a similar approach to this one but with far more success, try Kovacevich/Davis. Among historic performances, Schnabel/Boult, Solomon/Dobrowen and Fischer/Furtwangler are mandatory listening too.
