Review title: Dynamic Duo #2
Product review: I loved all of Fleisher's recordings with George Szell in the 50's and early 60's before he became afflicted with dystonia. In particular, the Beethoven concertos (still the best stereo cycle of those works), the Grieg/Schumann concertos (still at or near the top), and the Brahms concertos (along with Gilels, the best pairing of those). Fleisher & Szell were quite a dynamic duo. Now over 40 years later comes the best stereo recording I've heard of the piano quintet (yes, I like it better than Pollini/Quartetto Italiano). As for the quartets, there are many fine recordings. I especially like the Verdi Quartett's Op. 51 set. The Alban Berg has a fine set of all three on 2 discs (but inexplicably no "filler"). But, this set by the Emerson's is as good as any I've heard, and probably better. When you add it all up, it's a no-brainer as to which set to get. Hopefully, this is the first of many collaborations between Fleisher and the Emerson Quartet (while he can still play at this level).
