About this album

This celebrated 1982 pairing of Schumann and Grieg showcases Krystian Zimerman’s poised, technically dazzling pianism with Herbert von Karajan and the Berliner Philharmoniker. Schumann’s Piano Concerto brings lyrical warmth and dramatic sweep, while Grieg’s beloved concerto adds melodic glow and virtuoso bravura. The combination of a major young soloist, one of the world’s great orchestras and Karajan’s authoritative partnership gives the programme lasting stature. As a coupling of two Romantic cornerstones, it remains one of the most admired modern interpretations of these concertos.
