Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
This recording documents one of the great musical partnerships of the century. George Szell's Mozart is one of the glories of the CD catalog, and in Rudolf Serkin he found a pianist who totally complemented Szell's unique combination of severe discipline and expressive intensity. Mozart's 20th piano concerto is one of only two in minor keys--it's his most purely dramatic orchestral composition, linked in spirit to his opera Don Giovanni. Szell and Serkin ensure that the theatrical character of Mozart's writing receives its full due. And although the Columbia Symphony isn't the miracle ensemble that Szell created in Cleveland, they play with total dedication to the cause. --David Hurwitz

5.0 out of 5 stars Freightening perfection, October 26, 1998
By A Customer
Serkin and Szell on a day unlike any other day in their lives. What a marriage of souls! Serkin plays the Beethoven cadenza in K.466. Pray that this recording NEVER goes out of print.

5.0 out of 5 stars Serkin, Szell, January 10, 2003
Serkin and Szell demonstrate a a restrained appraoch to Mozart that suits perfectly. The almost rigid tension and potency seem to be the two artists' secret to highly effective Mozart (who's works are themselves marked by restraint). There are no two musicians then or since that can achieve this level of intensity.
