Geoffrey Gaskell wrote of Brahms first concerto: >The joint "Gold Medalists" in this event are, in alphabetical order, Curzon >& Serkin. The "Bronze Medalist" is Schnabel. All with Szell as conductor. I was thrilled when Sony reissued the pair of Brahms piano concertos with Fleisher and Szell. I know of no better performance of the first than this one. Szell seemed to own this piece. The chemistry between Szell and Fleisher is something to marvel at. Mark
