This is my favourite rendition of this piece! I love Zimmerman's wonderful piano and Karajan's magnificent orchestra, especially his strong brass sounds. Brilliant brass sounds of 3rd movement is the greatest point of this piece. I really appreciate you uploading this :)

Grieg, 24 years old, and Zimerman, also only 24 years old.

Караян всё чётко а пианист вообще бесподобно

[AshnerTV]

Zimerman and Richter play this piece the best for me.
