It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

I have the Leinsdorf/Rubinstein & Szell/Gilels...

Whilst I greatly admire Rubinstein's Chopin work, I am not too convinced of his Beethoven work so far. It's possible that I might have to go back further in time to exploit his Beethoven. Nothing is wrong with the set except that I just felt that this combo sounded to polite and too nice.

For Szell/Gilels, I love their Largo. Szell's swelling orchestral blooms is perfect for Gilels' beautiful but somewhat retrospective phrasing. But, something is lacking on the other movements for me.

This is why interesting to hear Fleisher/Szell set which everyone seems to give it the thumbs up.

Have you heard the Fleisher version?
