This release celebrates the American pianist Leon Fleisher’s 85th birthday._x000D_
This 1960 live recording of Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No.1, conducted by André Cluytens, is wonderfully sprung and full of stylish brio. _x000D_
Mozart’s K414 is a rarity in Fleisher’s discography; he did not record it until 2008. This 1957 live perfomance is direct with a full-bodied singing tone and pinpointed responsiveness._x000D_
Unissued recordings; beautifully recorded by WDR._x000D_
One of the few examples of Fleisher caught live.
