I suppose if I had to choose a single recording coupling both of Chopin's concertos, it would be this one. Perahia is a sensitive, extremely persuasive artist who understands his own particular gifts better than anyone. He's not a muscle-bound virtuoso by any means--neither was Chopin, for that matter. All of Perahia's interpretations are finely graded, carefully prepared, and sensitive to the music's every nuance, but they never sound stiff or studied. In fact, his natural eloquence and grace at the keyboard makes him an ideal Chopin pianist, though he has been very selective in the music that he has actually recorded. Here then is a superb example of artist and composer in perfect harmony with one another. --David Hurwitz

Old Muse
The piano is excellent, wonderful touch and flow. The orchestra sounds as if it is coming from another source without the same audio quality.
BORRING
Frankly Kissin's recording from when he was a child is more pleasing to listen to for me. Granted I believe that the F-Minor is better performed here than the E-Minor however I wouldn't tell anyone to buy this recording - the stars are great but, the recordings overall subpar - esspecially Concerto No. 1.
decent performance of the Chopin Concerti
I found this reading of the two Concerti very facile and nimble. I suppose this is appropriate for Chopin, but even still, some of the luxuriant, sensuous qualities could have been more emphasized.
Perahia's technique is indeed fluent, but perhaps a little too much so. For example, the development sections in the first movements of both Concerti are not dramatic enough.
I agree that Mehta's accompanying is weak.
