Beethoven, Ludwig Van/Schumann, Robert: The Cor de Groot Collection vol.1: The Early Recordings (APR Audio CD)

The Cor De Groot Collection Volume 1: The Early Recordings

Cor de Groot (Piano)

Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, Willem Mengelberg

APR's second Cor de Groot volume resurrects another wartime date with the Concertgebouw, this time under Willem Mengelberg, who gives his young soloist his head in a mellow, well though-out reading of the Emperor Concerto... The sound is certainly good enough to enjoy this 1942 treasure... .Schumann's Papillons [is a] delightfully turned account... Beethoven's Appassionata..is very much a heart-on-sleeve, hectic affair... but absolutely riveting all the same. Classical Express (UK)
