The old Victor set of Ludwig van Beethoven's Piano Concerto No.1 offers the solo part in the first and last movements with the exciting musical life. In the new Victor set the exciting life is in the orchestral context with the NBC Symphony around the flow of characterless piano sounds produced by Ania Dorfman. The performance is excellent and the records reproduce it with richness, clarity and spaciousness, but with some alteration of its original plastic proportions by monkeyed-with volume-levels, and with bad distortion in the drum-rolls on the last side of the third movement.
