Geza Anda; Karl Bohm; Wiener Philharmoniker; Philharmonia Orchestra - Brahms & Mozart: Geza Anda live 1963 & 1974

The art of the Swiss pianist of Hungarian origin Geza Anda, which is as unmistakable as it is elusive, is revealed even more impressively in the concert recordings of his career spanning almost 35 years than in the studio recordings, many of which have remained a reference.

The numerous recordings that have survived paint a picture of an artist who is committed to unconditional dedication and great expressivity. This is impressively demonstrated by the live recordings of Mozart's Concerto K. 456 and Brahms' Piano Concerto No. 1, released here for the first time, which occupy a special place in Anda's oeuvre.

Both concertos are associated with Karl Bohm on the podium: Anda worked with Bohm, as far as is known, three times; two of these stellar musical moments are presented here for the first time.
