"Backhaus gives a highly intelligent performance, weaving his part with that of the orchestra in just the right way for this intimate concerto."
- Gramophone
The recording career of Wilhelm Backhaus spanned an extraordinary sixty years from his first discs made by the acoustic process at the end of September 1908 to his final stereo recordings made for Decca in 1969.
This release with Günter Wand and the Wiener Philharmoniker comes as part of Decca's Wilhelm Backhaus – The Complete Decca Recordings, featuring Backhaus’ landmark recordings of the great master-composers of Classical music.
