Recordings worth hearing

  • Ashkenazy / Previn / London Symphony Orchestra

    Reference

    Decca · 1974

    The first-movement cadenza is long enough to stand alone and among the hardest pages in the repertoire. Ashkenazy plays it clearly rather than showily, and the structure never goes missing.

  • Trifonov / Nézet-Séguin / The Philadelphia Orchestra

    Modern

    Deutsche Grammophon · 2018

    The most varied in colour among modern recordings, with a scherzo that never once lets up.
