"Neither is the incisive, thrillingly played Schumann Introduction and Concert Allegro. Biret makes the knotty piano writing both roar and soar, recalling Rudolf Serkin's leonine, compact traversal with Eugene Ormandy and the Philadelphia Orchestra. In turn, Wit's spirited podium work keeps the music's diffuse form afloat, seasoned with the same highly characterized solo playing that grace this conductor's wonderful Schumann symphonies on Naxos. A release well worth hearing." ClassicsToday
