Nelson Freire is quite an amazing pianist. It's good Decca decided to sign him. I had borrowed his Brahms Piano Concerto recording and was quite impressed. Even in his 60's his technique has held up in these highly demanding concerti. I saw that he actually programmed these two works in during the past season of concerts. Unlike Gilels, Freire doesn't plod along at a slow pace. He's more like Pollini in that respect. All in all, a new favorite recording of these works to set alongside Pollini, Fleisher and Serkin.Sunday, June 26, 2011
