"The recording is very fine. The piano is powerfully 'there' without being in any way blatant. The orchestral sound builds from the bottom up, the bass line finely caught; there are well-placed horns and distinct solo woodwinds...After several hearings, I am still marvelling at the sound and substance of a pianist capable of meeting Sanderling on his own ground where Brahms is concerned, I am also marvelling afresh at the work - which is usually a good sign." -RO, Gramophone Hélène Grimaud, piano Staatskapelle Berlin Conducted by Kurt Sanderling
