Adrian Quanjer gives Four and half stars for performance and sonics to Garrick Ohlsson, Sir Donald Runnicles, and the Grand Teton Music Festival Orchestra’s recording of The Complete Beethoven Piano Concertos:
“Long-standing giants like Sir David Runnicles and Garrick Ohlsson, don’t have to prove anything anymore. Their extensive and rewarding international careers say it all. No longer dependent on the moods of critics, they can be themselves and, as we may assume, support wholeheartedly the stars of today and those of tomorrow, making the GTMF one of the finest festivals around.… What we get is the fruit of a week’s labour, or should I say ‘joy’, which is condensed and now contained in a 3-SACD box, for us to savour. … this one is special… music-making at the highest level!”
