Review title: A breath of fresh air
Product review: I wouldn't say that this is my favourite performance of the Beethoven. In fact I have about 10 different performances of this concerto, and if I could morph all 10 into 1 then that would be my ideal. Nevertheless, what I like about this performance is the spaciousness that Mutter gets. Someone once remarked that the first movement of this work is a work of "lofty architecture" and I tend to agree with that description. Mutter's playing is very precise, and wonderful, especially in the high registers. Yes, perhaps there isn't much of her personality in it, but that's the Karjan way IMHO. Nevertheless, it's quite stunning. I often come back to this one, on account of the first movement. It may be slow, but it's quite captivating. Not bad at all for a girl of 16. I certainly recommend it.
