Leonard Bernstein was slated to conduct the entire set of these piano concertos. At the time of his death, however, he had completed the third, fourth and fifth concertos only. In tribute to Bernstein, Krystian Zimerman and the Vienna Philharmonic recorded the remaining concertos without a conductor.
"Beethoven with a wholly modern appeal in its alliance of power and concision, yet without casting overboard the beloved Romantic tradition. The technically invincible Zimerman's touch has forcefulness without hardness; it has clarity and definition as well as every desirable degree of warmth and songfulness … The orchestra is at its most beautiful, with tonal bloom and warmth along with the cleanest articulation and utmost responsiveness." (Die Presse)
“In the last three there is a close rapport and unity of purpose between these two in many ways highly differing musical personalities; Zimerman poised and aristocratic, Bernstein a full-bodied, brilliant temperament. Their collaboration is a triumphant success” (Penguin Guide)
