Beethoven: Complete Piano Concertos [3 CDs with Blu-ray Audio / Dolby Atmos & Blu-ray video]

"It is appropriate that the peak of Beethoven's orchestral artistry should be scaled by two musicians also at the height of their powers: these performances are as near-definitive as I ever expect to hear...[Zimerman's] interpretations here have a fleet grace which takes the breath away." Five Stars BBC Music Recording of the Month September 2021

" Rattle is especially good at the Haydn-like humour of the early concertos, where Zimerman sparkles with clean-cut playing. In the later concertos, depth of feeling keeps ambushing the listener, providing a sense of discovery that is welcome from two musicians who must have performed this music so often." Financial Times

"Zimerman and Rattle convey the sense that, though Beethoven was entering territory essentially charted by Mozart, he consciously did so as his own man." Gramophone

"What has remained constant across the decades is the unaffected clarity and beauty of Zimerman's playing - the perfectly even execution of every run, the precise weight of every chord, the compelling articulacy of the smallest details...few convey the sense of wholeness in each work more satisfyingly than Zimerman does...By and large, Rattle's conducting is a model of tact and good taste, never drawing attention to itself."
