This is unbelivably good. I have heard this concerto many times live, on record, on tape, on the radio, and on disc. I have never heard it performed this well. My favorite performance had been Pollini's with Abbado in the late 1970s (maybe early 1980s). This surpasses it in every way, which I would not have believed possible. Pollini's technique is perfect. His and Abbado's interpretation, nuances, shading and dynamics could not be better. The orchestra balances the piano just as Brahms always intended. And then there's the sound quality: as acoustically superb as I have ever heard on any disc. This is truly one of the all-time great classical recordings. Do not miss it.
