P. I. Tchaikovsky: Symphony No. 4 & C. Saint-Saëns: Piano Concerto No. 4

Tchaikovsky, Peter Ilyich | Saint-Saëns, Camille

Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin | Casadesus, Robert (piano) | Ormandy, Eugene (conductor)

release date: 2008.08.27

"A rather more striking 1954 broadcast account of the Fourth Symphony where Ormandy conducts the Berlin RIAS Symphony Orchestra has appeared on Audite. As with the Fifth there are some fairly theatrical gear-changes and yet one could hardly fail to admire the warmth of string tone or the high level of commitment: the orchestra is plainly going all out for maximum visceral impact. But what makes this well transferred CD more or less unmissable is a remarkable performance of Saint-Saëns’s Fourth Piano Concerto with Robert Casadesus as soloist, a cool but virtuoso reading and possibly the best of the many versions of the work that we now have from Casadesus." (Gramophone)
