Lars Vogt continues his Ondine recordings with a new cycle of Beethoven's Piano Concertos. Conducting the Royal Nothern Sinfonia from the keyboard Lars Vogt shows the brilliance and the beauty of these two majestic works of the classic piano concerto literature.
"There is a feeling of intimacy and give and take that isn't usually present in performances…this is an enjoyable and probing account of this lovely work. The Northern Sinfonia, though it has less than 16 players, sounds adequately forceful…Vogt's playing in the slow movement [of the Emperor] is suitably rapt, and the whole performance radiates that sense of well-being which the piece demands" BBC Music
"the shaping of the great third cadenza is…assured and the finale has an added spaciousness and weight that takes nothing from the performance's energy and wit. As for the Royal Northern Sinfonia, they have all the responsiveness of a chamber-music ensemble, married to a range and depth of sonority which you might expect from a rather larger ensemble." Gramophone
