Movie Reviews of Brahms: Piano Concertos 1-2
Movie Review: slightly flawed, but still very beautiful performances
Summary: 4 Stars
These recordings were filmed (and subsequently cut and edited) during a series of concerts given in Vienna 1983/4 by the conductor and soloist with the Wiener Philharmoniker. Humphrey Burton's habitually masterful direction now lingers a bit too often on the soloist's hands, but also pays homage to the conductor and orchestral musicians, once more highlighting the truly special relationship Bernstein had with this great orchestra. Krystian Zimerman plays very well, technically brilliant, but also introspective and quite in tune with Brahms' idiom, and the conductor is visibly sensitive to the soloist. It is, however, obvious that Bernstein is physically unwell and his grip on the orchestral proceedings not as firm as usual, especially as it was during his celebrated Vienna recordings a decade earlier. Brahms' piano concertos are somewhat episodic, perhaps even meandering, in their conception, and a tight hand at the helm is imperative throughout to provide the necessary cohesion for any performance. Alas, there are brief passages in both concertos when Bernstein's control appears to slip and the music loses some momentum. Regardless, these are quite beautiful performances and, at the same time, important documents of a bygone era in musical history. The audience's thunderous applause speaks for itself.
