Description
“These present an even more formidable achievement …readings that are strong and positive as well as thoughtful … [No.1] “crisp, lifted rhythms and a raptness to compare with Barenboim and Arrau, hold one’s attention as a live performance would” [No.2] “That sense of spontaneity is similarly conveyed in the performance of the Second Concerto … formidable technique and warm, positive temperament …Tirimo is far from reticent as a soloist. He gives a commanding account” (both: Edward Greenfield / Gramophone & both 3 stars Penguin Guide) [2nd] “takes its place among three or four best versions of this much-recorded work” (High Fidelity, USA)
