Reviews:

Yeah, I know what you are thinking – does it have to be yet another cycle of the Beethoven concertos? Must be his 10th set (actually I have lost track, but more than 20 might come close). But I got this one pretty cheap, and it's worth at least the small amount I had to spend.
Furthermore, Kissin is coming of age, and maturing into one of the premier pianists of his time. Hard to imagine that he's been around for 25 years now. His fire is still there, but his sound has become fuller and more golden. One can hear (and realize) that Kissin is *listening* more closely before hitting the keys – there is no
single note being played without the whole phrase (and the last note of that phrase) in his mind.
Furthermore, he's playing these concertos with Sir Colin Davis, who (during a series of concerts in Munich in 1989) even managed to make
Alfred Brendel (who usually only plays note-by-note without the whole in mind) sound like a musician. Admittedly, this cycle is not mind-blowing as Pletnev's, nor are individual concerts at the top of the list, but Kissin/Davis provide for one of most interesting surveys of this repertoire in years. Enjoy. (wursthans)

Given Evgeny Kissin's formidable stature in the piano world, high
expectations are in order for his Beethoven concerto cycle with Colin Davis and the London Symphony Orchestra. In the main, the performances testify to Kissin's nearly superhuman keyboard mastery, as well as to his tendency to put pianistic effect first while gliding over the
specific linear qualities of Beethoven's style. He often pounds out trills, roulades, and loud runs in a muscular, uninflected manner. While his solo entrances at the start of each concerto's Rondo movement teem with breathtaking detail and effortless brio, Kissin soon resorts to his bag of tricks: an attention-getting diminuendo of his own invention here, an exaggerated voicing there, glib detaché articulation (the G major concerto Rondo's main theme), plus enough rhetorical lily gilding to make you wonder if Kissin studies Beethoven's scores by the light of a candelabra.
Just compare Kissin's earlier, less tonally refined yet more direct
Emperor Concerto (with Levine on Sony) to the present remake and you'll notice annoying new details such as the first movement's vulgar tempo distensions (the G major first movement and the C minor's
cadenza are chock-full of them too), or the pianist's mincing phrasing of the Rondo's descending scale motive. Conversely, Kissin underplays when he ought to be generating musical and dramatic tension, particularly in slow movements, where important left-hand lines hover in the background while long, lyrical right-hand cantabiles usually peak too soon.
The Fourth Concerto slow movement's anguished build-up of trills rarely has come off so nonplussed and uninvolved. And for a pianist who relishes the Schumann C major Fantasy's obsessive dotted rhythms, Kissin treads surprisingly cautiously through the B-flat concerto's
feverish, "Hammerklavier" sonata-period cadenza (for the record, he plays the Fourth's more commonly heard first-movement cadenza, and the shorter of Beethoven's two completed cadenzas for the First Concerto.)
The piano dominates in the recorded mix, resulting in skewed dynamic proportions and balances between soloist and orchestra, such as when accompaniment figurations pull focus from the orchestral thematic
material they ought to support (the outset of the C minor concerto Rondo and much of the G major first movement's filigree). In truth,
I detect no meeting of minds between Kissin's idiosyncrasies and Davis' solid, seasoned professionalism, and prefer the radically differing orchestral frameworks characterizing the conductor's previous Beethoven concerto cycles (spiky and analytical for Kovacevich, opulent and full-throated for Arrau). Memorable moments notwithstanding, this release could have been better. (Jed Distler on classicstoday.com
