Ludwig van Beethoven Bernard Haitink Concertgebouw Orchestra - Beethoven Piano Concerto No5 (3 tracks) +Album Reviews +Used CD available for Swap

| 05/04/2001 (5 out of 5 stars) The Fifth Concerto, the Emperor, remains the most popular, and has been recorded innumerable times. First choice for me is perhaps Murray Perahia on Sony. Wonderful playing, very much from the eighteenth century, and a finale that really sparkles, but which does not lack power.

I also used to like this approach, but Perahia s is more stylistically idiomatic. Don t for a moment think that this version is underpowered, because it certainly is not: his playing is full of authority and the orchestral playing under Haitink is the most thrilling I ve heard in this piece.My other favourites in this piece:Wilhelm Kempff s stereo DG account from 1961 is fine: magnificent playing throughout, with a sense of humanity in the Adagio that is compelling
