1. Allegro moderato (beginning)

Chicago Symphony Orchestra
Conducted by Frederick Stock

rec. 1942

These 1942 versions were neither Artur Schnabel's first nor last recordings of these concertos; he recorded the cycle for HMV in 1932 and remade four of the five after the war. They were, however, the final recordings of Frederick Stock, who built the Chicago Symphony into a major orchestra. These collaborations do cause sparks to fly between soloist and orchestra, resulting in intense performances with palpable expression in every bar. The recorded sound is only fair, but this kind of music-making easily transcends such limitations. --Leslie Gerber (Amazon.com)
