Description:

[Best Classics 100] Keesin, the most popular virtuoso pianist today, performed Rachmaninoff's popular Piano Concerto No. 3 with the Boston Symphony Orchestra under the baton of master conductor Seiji Ozawa. The concerto captures all the romanticism of the composer's work and expresses it with flawless technique and musicality, leaving the listener with an overwhelming impression. Keesin is currently on the royal road to becoming a 21st century master, but his performances from this period, in which he still retains a glimpse of youthfulness, are already fully representative of a master's style. The Liszt and Schumann performances in the coupling are also masterpieces, and can be said to be from his own medicine cabinet.
