Review by Richard Gabel

The album "Klavierkonzert a moll op 16 Klavierkonzert a moll op 54" by Grieg Schumann Hans RichterHaaser, Wiener Symphoniker, Rudolf Moralt is a classical music treat for enthusiasts. The album features two famous piano concertos, one by Edvard Grieg and the other by Robert Schumann, both performed by the talented pianist Hans RichterHaaser accompanied by the Vienna Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Rudolf Moralt.

The album opens with Grieg's "Piano Concerto in A minor, Op. 16", a piece that showcases the composer's Nordic spirit and romantic sensibility. Haaser's interpretation of the concerto is spot on, capturing the delicate nuances of the music and the grandeur of the orchestra. The Wiener Symphoniker's playing is equally impressive, with Moralt's conducting bringing out the best in the orchestra.

The second concerto on the album is Schumann's "Piano Concerto in A minor, Op. 54", a work that is considered one of the greatest piano concertos of the Romantic era. Haaser's performance of the concerto is simply breathtaking, with his virtuosic playing and emotional depth bringing out the beauty and complexity of the music. The Vienna Symphony Orchestra once again shines under Moralt's direction, providing a rich and expressive accompaniment to Haaser's playing.

The combination of Grieg and Schumann's piano concertos, Haaser's masterful playing, and the Wiener Symphoniker's outstanding performance make for a truly exceptional listening experience.
