Walter Gieseking, Emil Gilels - Beethoven, Tchaikovsky: Piano Concertos (1953, 1957) [2011]

NHK Symphony Orchestra of two big pianists who have become legendary now.
Gieseking was 58 years old at that time. You can listen to the natural and delicate mature master art. The beauty of his soft sounds is so goose bumps even through old recordings.
Gilels was 41 years old at that time. At his first visit to Japan, he was amazed at the "touch of steel" that had been well received all over the world and his unambiguous regular script-like performance. (King International)
