Flawless (...) excellent recording technique (...) impeccable technical precision (...) Eschenbach's recording of the Fifth undoubtedly numbers among the upper third (...) These Seasons can be regarded as a reference recording. The legend lives on as never before... - Ondine's second recording in the acclaimed partnership with The Philadelphia Orchestra combines Tchaikovsky's famous Fifth Symphony with a special bonus, the first half of the piano cycle The Seasons. The latter is Christoph Eschenbach's first extensive solo piano recording in nearly thirty years. Before turning to conducting in the 1970s, Christoph Eschenbach had earned a distinguished reputation as the foremost pianist to emerge from post-war Germany, making his United States concert debut in 1969, with his mentor George Szell and the Cleveland Orchestra. |
