Ludwig Van Beethoven: Triple Concerto in C Major Op. 56, P.Badura-Skoda, F.J.Maier, A.Bylsma

I know this Concerto is posted on youtube in very high performances, but I love this record. It's hard to explain why, but I'll take a few words from the review of Hiram Gòmez Pardo Venezuela: “This is certainly one of the most brilliant and innovative works of this genius. The overall approach emphasizes the fortunate meeting of the chamber work sound joined with the great symphonic masses. The three main soloists instruments do not contend in order to reach an unique leadership. They work out if you may, as a solid functional unity, such as a new musical instrument, that merges and never subordinates to orchestra musical speech. Franz Josef Maier in violin and Anner Bylsma (one of my preferred cello soloists, due to the purity and deep expressiveness of his sound) made a superb team with this emblematic and masterful pianist; a true giant of the keyboard: Paul Badura Skoda, a pianist of countless virtues, skillfully gifted, with meridian musicality and vigorous enthusiasm and profound devotion. To talk about the Collegium Aureum is to refer ourselves to one of the most solid musical ensembles along the musical stages.”
