EDVARD GRIEG - PIANO CONCERTO IN A MINOR - KRYSTIAN ZIMERMAN (Piano) - HERBERT VON KARAJAN (Conductor) - BERLINER PHILHARMONIKER - 028943901529 - Deutsche Grammophon 439015

Every note in this 1982 recording is played with nobility, stature and perfectly judged rubato, which gives this great concerto an inner glowing beauty. The same effort is given to the Schumann Piano Concerto also on this disc. Zimerman's phrasing is perfect in works like these.
