Fellner Does Good Job on Beethoven Concertos

"The young Austrian pianist Till Fellner teamed with the famous British chamber orchestra Academy of St. Martin in the Fields in 1994 and they recorded the set of two Beethoven's early piano concertos for the French label Erato.Fellner does a good job, his technique is more than adequate for the pieces and his musicality soars on slower movements. The orchestra under Sir Neville Marriner is as polished as ever, making for an impressive recording, which deserves much more attention than it actually gets. In fact, I got this CD in a local store in Slovakia in 2001 for a very bargain price (about USD2.20!)I do not think you will go wrong with purchasing this album, even if you already have some recordings of Piano Concertos 2&3. Fellner and Marriner certainly do no shame to the great composer."
