    BBC footage of concerts from 1974 of Ashkenazy and Haitink in all of beethoven's concertos, all excellently performed.

  • What a let down

    Rated - 1.0 star

    These performances come with a great reputation, but the sound quality (especially of the orchestral playing) on these dvds is so bad, they do not make good listening.

  • Old but brilliant

    These are very old recordings, but feature Ashkenazy at his best. The sound tracks have stood the test of time well. The only reason that I have downgraded them to four stars is the age of the recordings and they are mono. I recommend them to fans of the piano played at its best.

    They don't come much better than Ashkenazy.

    Worth having.

    Great news - I remember these being televised in the 70s.

    But wasn't the orchestra the London Philharmonic, rather than LSO (which Amazon claims)..?
