Movie Reviews of Wilhelm Backhaus/Karl Bohm: Beethoven - Piano Concerto No.4/Brahms - Symphony No. 2
Movie Review: Backhaus plays his favorite concerto
Summary: 5 Stars
Backhaus was one of the first to record the Beethoven G Major, and it was his favorite concerto in a repertoire that ranged from Grieg to Pick-Mangiagalli to Chopin. (He was the first pianist to record the Grieg, by the way, although the poor thing was mangled grotesquely to fit the requirements of acoustic recording). This DVD is a worthy memento of his love for the Beethoven 4th, and of his long-standing professional relationship with Karl Boehm. Nonetheless, it would be remiss of me not to mention the DVD with Knappertsbusch, which is a far finer performance. Admirers of Backhaus (and I am one) will want both, but the Knappertsbusch version is more fluid, more lyrical, more deeply felt. It is in black and white, while the Boehm is in color. For those who don't care about visuals, I recommend the CD version of this piece with Backhaus, the VPO and Hans Schmidt-Isserstedt.
