Four decades of friendship and musical partnership brings these two titans of classical music together again. Eagerly anticipated follow-up to their now-legendary recording of the first concerto. Recorded live in concert in Japan in May 2019.
"One of the most joyous recordings of Beethoven's First Piano Concerto to have come out for years. Ozawa may be entering a glorious Indian Summer of creativity" Gramophone
"Argerich and Ozawa spark off each other and energy bubbles in the orchestra" BBC Music Magazine
"It may have been recorded a matter of days before her 78th birthday but nevertheless bubbles over with that ever-youthful sense of improvisation, of molten creativity taking place absolutely in the moment that always characterises this unique pianist's performances. Seiji Ozawa's orchestra brings a chamber edge to the sound but the focus - perhaps inevitably - favours the piano over the last degree of orchestral detail" Gramophone
