(No.4) “…deeply satisfying…Brendel’s control of phrase and colour….contrast of the slow movement are strongly and poetically made…uses the second of the cadenzas, not generally heard” (No.5): “splendidly bold and vigorous reading, well supported…..main rondo theme merges vividly and with great character” © 1992 Penguin Guide
