3.0 out of 5 stars
A basic standard cycle, Jun 10 2009

This review is from: 5 Pno Ctos (Audio CD)
To me there is not much excitment in this cycle. The orchestra gives a bland reading throughout, no thanks to Leitner.I don't know why the Berlin Phil is not on fire on this one! Kempff meanwhile excersices full genius of his powers, so on Kempff's side I give 5 stars, but the orcestra I give 2 stars. This is the best Kempff I've heard, 10 times better than his playing of the same concertos with Van Kempen in the '50's.
But the thing is, the Berlin Phil. with Van Kempen is totally inspired and on fire! The best orchestral playing of ANY Beethoven concerto cycle on record in the history of the grammphone! It's a toss up between the two Kempff cycles. You just gotta ask what you're looking for overall. My end answer lies in the fact that I own the Van Kempen set and not the Leitner set.

Disappointed in Philly!, Jun 3 2009

I had allready owned Kempff"s {theres a mouthful)set in Mono and the 4th and 5th with Leitner so I decided to get this set adding only the first second @ third to my collection. I was very disappointed @ if I could I would have returned it.The sound is not great nor are the performances of 1@2.That said I must say that my older CD of the 4th is one of my favorites. So get the 4th @ 5th and pass on this set.
