RE: Brahms piano concerto no 2

Brian,
Thanks for pointing out this performance
Here is a link to the first movement on you tube

I am a great fan of the Richter performance. Having listened only to the first movement of the Schnabel performance it is very exciting but at times feels out of control. For me it feels over the top. Somewhat like todays artists who feel they must play as fast as possible to make an impression. There are also several major mistakes in the Schnabel which says to me he may have taken it to fast. It almost feels like something Horowitz would do.
Richter develops the overall structure of this piece unlike anyone else.
Don't get me wrong, I greatly admire Schnabel and will probably get this recording and listen to the whole piece
Again thank you for recommending this performance
Alan
