'In each of the concertos it is Kovacevich's reading of the finale which crowns the performance...the recording represents the work of Philips engineers at its refined best [Piano Concertos Gramophone]
'...this luminous and intense performance that reminded me vividly of the rapt occasions when [Kovacevich] and Davis have given this concerto live, notably at the Proms in 1966 [Concerto No.2]...The performances here of two strongly contrasted works provide yet another illustration of the fruitful collaboration between Kovacevich and Davis...In each of the concertos it is Kovacevich's reading of the finale which crowns the performance...the recording represents the work of Philips engineers at its refined best [Concertos 1 & 3]'
