BEETHOVEN: PIANO CONCERTOS 1 & 2
Louis Schwizgebel (piano), London Philharmonic Orchestra
Aparte AP098
Release date: November 2014
“Schwizgebel – sensitively accompanied by the LPO and Thierry Fischer throughout the disc – produces a beautifully nuanced account with some nicely pointed detail … with beautifully clear sound, this is a safely recommendable pairing.” – Gramophone
“an exciting album. Schwizgebel’s playing is poised, lively and full of subtle, changing detail … Thierry Fisher has cultivated a buoyant, purposeful Beethoven sound with the LPO; there’s a pleasingly astringent wind tone at times, and some crisply elegant string playing.” – BBC Music Magazine
“…a vibrant lightness, freshness and energetic, sharply formulated conciseness…
Thierry Fischer focuses the orchestra, illuminating the finest details, resulting in an intimate dialogue between these strong partners” – Südostschweiz
