Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars Great performance, bad sound quality.......2007-03-09

Kulenkampff and Schmidt-Isserstedt's Beethoven Concerto is among my very favorite performances of this work. Schmidt-Isserstedt is a wonderful interpreter of Beethoven and Kulenkampff's gorgeous tone and profound musicianship are a perfect match for this piece.

Unfortunately, the sound quality on this CD is much worse than the exact same performance I once had on LP some years ago.
What happened? Did they have a bad master copy to work with?
The pitch is very sharp and the sound quality--which is generally pretty muffled--fluctuates widely.

Hopefully someone else will have a go at remastering and reissuing this classic recording!

5 out of 5 stars Scratchy sound, but great playing.......2000-06-25

Although the sound is a bit scratchy, and it is easy to tell when 78's were changed, this is probably the most exciting recording of the Beethoven concerto available. All of the intensity of live performance. The long first movement seems to be over in 2 minutes because of the way Kulenkampff grabs your attention, and the finally is full of trills and sparkles.
