Product Description
Contents: [Deutsche Grammophon 125th Anniversary Edition] [First Analog Recording Period] [SHM-CD Specification] [Green Color Label Coating] Christoph Eschenbach, who is active as a conductor today, made several recordings for Deutsche Grammophon as a pianist in the early stages of his career. His 1973 recording of Beethoven's Piano Concerto "Emperor" with Seiji Ozawa and the Boston Symphony Orchestra is a lively performance in which Eschenbach's clear touch shines through, and the harmonious dialogue between the pianist and conductor of the same generation is captivating. The coupling, "Choral Fantasy" (with J?rg Demus on piano and Ferdinand Leitner conducting), is a powerful work that foreshadows his later Symphony No. 9.
