Description:

[Quasi-New/Anchor Press: Immortal Backhaus 1000] The powerful, sculpted, straightforward expression of Backhaus in his mid-60s shows how well-rounded he was at the time. Böhm's clumsily martial style in the No. 3 and Krauss's stylish style in the No. 4 are suited to each other's works, and the difference in the orchestral performances is so great that it is hard to believe that they were recorded at almost the same time, making this disc also a reminder of the competence of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra in the 1950s. [Performed by] Wilhelm Backhaus (piano), Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Karl Böhm and Clemens Krauss Recorded in September 1950 and May 1951 (monaural)
