Great Recordings Of The Century

大师绝对的名盘之一，是他经典中最为璀璨夺目的。在我看来，李赫特的拉二是完美的。虽然很多乐友说不喜欢他手中的拉二，原因是认为他弹得拖沓而自以为是，过于刻板，尤其是第一乐章的开头部分。但是每次聆听这段，我都会感觉像是阳光穿过碧蓝的海水一般，呼吸凝重、大气广博，深得俄罗斯广袤大地之精髓。如果要是推荐拉二的版本的话，大师的这段演绎在我心目中必在前列。

Two of Karajan's bestselling recordings with great soloists. Karajan's rare collaborations with Soviet musicians in the 1960s resulted in exceptional recordings that have become classics - including the ones presented here: "a performance of astonishing intimacy and refinement" from Richter in Tchaikovsky's First Piano Concerto (October 1962), and "a deft and stylish account" of the Rococo Variations with Rostropovich (September 1968) Citations from R.
