Ronald Brautigam's piano playing throughout the concertos for piano and orchestra has all the vitality, expression and nimble finger work you would want. Conductor Lev Markiz keeps his players in check during the soloist's star-turns yet responds with verve when required.
The Sinfonietta strings are splendid in the A minor concerto, playing with precision and bite in the outer movements and with gossamer lightness in the lovely Adagio. The recording is naturally balanced and the stereo spread is very convincing indeed. No qualms about the soloist either; Brautigam despatches the Allegro finale with his usual understated brilliance.
And there's virtuosity and weight aplenty in the big-boned G minor concerto, where the orchestra is in commanding form. As ever, there is a pleasing sense of proportion and balance to the performance, which is never compromised by empty showmanship. Just listen to the miraculous Andante, seven minutes of sustained loveliness, followed by a pulse-racing Presto.
The less popular second concerto – in D minor – seems several shades darker than its predecessor. It has that imposing, rough-hewn quality one associates with Beethoven's later concertos.
