“I cannot recall hearing quite so graceful a lilt at the soloist’s initial entrance in the first movement as here. Throughout, there’s the consistent grain of humanity in Levy’s contribution: while many pianists give the impression of projecting this music, Levy seems to be listening to and relishing it as he goes. Fischer-Dieskau and the Philharmonia provide warm, rolling, luminously singing
support…”
BBC Music Magazine

“Levy’s account of the First Piano Concerto ranks with the very best.”
Bernard Jacobson, Fanfare
