Notes and Editorial Reviews
Berman's decorative passages are as delicate as you could imagine, never merely showy, while the strength of his playing is tremendous. He can scale his playing down to the most intimate mood, while the detail of textures is as clear as could be. He has a superb musician to accompany him and Giulini gets the Vienna Symphony Orchestra to play as if it were the Philharmonic itself. DG's recording is full, yet bright and clear, with an admirable balance between soloist and orchestra.
