GG Lars Vogt plays GG's cadenzas for Beethoven



new disc (recommendation):

Beethoven: Piano concertos Nos 1 & 2
Lars Vogt, piano
City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra
Sir Simon Rattle, conductor
( EMI Classics 7243 5 56266 2 2 )

The package contains two CDs:
One for the two concertos played with 
"ordinary" cadenzas by the composer;
the other one, a bonus CD, for another performance of
No.1, with the cadenzas written by GG (1954).

I suppose this is the second recording of GG's
brilliant cadenzas, the first of which is made by GG himself.

Lars Vogt is the second winner of the 1990 Leeds Int'l
Piano Competition, who played at the GG Festival in
Groningen in 1992.

Beautiful performance.
