Editorial Reviews

The DGG is a very distinguished record indeed. Pollini is sparkling in the F major, and in the a major has a superbly poised, vibrant sense of line. Every phrase here seems to speak, and he is given excellent support from Böhm and the Vienna orchestra. There is no sense of haste in the outer movements; everything is admirably paced. Good, well-detailed and finely balanced recording make this one of the finest Mozart concerto records DGG have given us. Among the K.488s, this must be ranked as second-to-none.

    I have owned this recording for years. It is very soul touching music created by Mozart and performed by pollini
  • Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2013
    Like all the truly great composers, Mozart can take many kinds of "treatment". The romantic approach for which epithets like "magic" were liberally bestowed on Geza Anda some 60 years ago is no longer fashionable; but that's saying very little. Fashions come and go. Lasting values tend to stay around.
    This comment is appropriate for No. 23, for which a recorded performance is available of such utter grace and perfection that even these words seem a poor equivalent. This is Mozart: Piano Concertos no 8, 23 & 24 / Wilhelm Kempff. Any pianist up against this recording has an impossible task (which also applies to No. 24). I'm not saying this is a definitive recording - there is no such thing. But perfect in so many ways that testify to a long life lived in the service of this composer.
    Pollini need not be ashamed of his pianism, even with such competition before him. It is true that he cannot match the wisdom of the grand old man, but his playing leaves little to be desired in terms of elegance. He eschews leanings on the romantic era altogether (as did Kempff), which is why many reviewers felt it was a "cold" performance. This is too committal: I would say "cool". Where this version steps down a rung is in the orchestral contribution. Where Leitner matches his man with every tiniest nuance, Böhm is rather bluff and somewhat stodgy. His conducting is almost wholly "old school" and therefore in striking (and unfavourable) contrast to the young pianist's light fingered finesse.
    In No. 19, co-operation improves slightly, but not enough to satisfy me that these two artists actually see the work as the same way. However, Böhm does not impose himself; he is content to "accompany" whenever the soloist is in the spotlight.
    The frecording is good, clear and clean.
    All told you cannot go far wrong purchasing this item. This is not saying that in a field replete with dozens of contenders, this particular issue can claim a place right at thetop.

    It's such a wonderful experience to listen Mozart's Piano Concertos by these giant musicians.
    Karl Bohm knows the "difficult" simplicity of Mozart's music and a young Pollini shows his great skill at the piano. As a result you have a superb performance, with a sound of quality and a well-balanced interpretation. I do recommend!

    5.0 out of 5 stars モーツアルトのピアノ協奏曲第23番ならこの演奏と録音を始めに聴いていただきたい、お薦めの一枚
    Reviewed in Japan on August 5, 2014
     私にとって定番中の定番の演奏で、どなたにもモーツアルトのピアノ協奏曲として一度は聴いて戴きたいと思っています。正装していますが映像との同時収録で、ウイーン楽友協会大ホールでのセッション録音です。ウイーンフィルのホームグラウンドを活かして大変美しく録れています。ピアノとオーケストラのバランスも良好で、粒のそろった美音で作為を感じさせないポリーニ余裕の演奏と、ゆったりと全体を動かしているベームの指揮を楽しめます。多くの名演がありますが最近はこのポリーニ/ベームかグルダ/アバド ASIN: B000009MBIの演奏を聴くことが多くなっています。

     このCDは1976年のLP、同時に収録された映像のLD(30cmレーザー・ディスク)、CD POCG09952 日本製(1997) ASIN: B00005FJ1C、SACD UCGG-9043 ASIN: B0061P65VGに続く五種類目の購入です。普通に聴くにはどれも問題なく綺麗な録音ですが、あるときWindows Media Playerのプレイビューでウエーブとバー表示にしますと、10 KHzを越える高域に楽音とは思えないバーが出たり消えたりすることに気が付きました。プレーヤの音声出力の周波数スペクトルをみますと、CDにもSACDのにも約15.6 KHzに鋭い雑音の混入があり、レベルは-70 dB程度で、楽音とは無関係と思われますが気になりました。分析のために今回新たに購入したこのCD 00289 477 9376, Import(2011), ASIN: B004CPJC3AではそのピークはMedia Playerでは見えません。周波数スペクトルを見ますとやはり約15.6 KHzの鋭いピークは残っていますがレベルは-85 dB程度と15 dBほど低くなっていてMedia Playerでは見えなくなっているようなのですが、スペルトル分析波形から推測しますと、2011年製の本CDではフィルターでこの信号を低減・除去しようとする処理が行われたように見えます。すでに記しましたように正装した演奏者による映像と音声のセッション収録で、映像の水平同期信号の混入の可能性は否定できませんが、真の原因について制作レーベル関係者、あるいは有識者のご意見があればと思っております。

     いずれにせよ、私にとってこの演奏と録音は五つ星以上のものですが、この信号が混入していないマスターテープがあることを祈っています。

    Reviewed in France on February 10, 2019
    Pollini et Böhm en duo. J'aurais pensé que Pollini serait peut-être un peu froid, erreur. L'articulation est magnifique, soliste et orchestre sont à l'écoute l'un de l'autre. Un beau disque dans une acoustique très bonne, un orchestre ronflant. Recommandé.
