These recordings were made a few years before Gieseking’s death in 1956 at the height of Karajan’s association with Walter Legge’s Philharmonia Orchestra. Gieseking’s playing in Schumann’s Concerto (overshadowed by the perfection of the 1948 combination with Lipatti) is remarkable for a strikingly slow Intermezzo and full-blooded finale. Franck’s Variations are exquisitely poised, while the Grieg, played with incredible authority and control, is staggeringly beautiful. -- Christopher Fifield,
