About

Robert Casadesus follows his highly successful CD of Mozart Piano Concertos K.491 and K.595 conducted by George Szell coupled with Weber's Konzertstuck (MM010-2), with another compilation containing Mozart's Piano Concerto K.488, Beethoven's Piano Concerto No.5 and Ravel's Piano Concerto in D.

Casadesus recorded all this material over many years in the studio but here he is captured live in superb sound as a result of WDR's master tapes, here released for the very first time.

Beethoven's
'Emperor' Concerto from 1965 follows his 1961 studio account and, being live, is slightly faster. It is conducted brilliantly by the young Christoph von Dohnányi.

The Ravel Concerto in D for the Left Hand is especially valuable since Casadesus was a close friend of the composer . The collaboration with one of the most important conductors of the 20th Century, Hermann Scherchen, produces electrifying results.
