It seems the height of ingratitude to give less than even a lukewarm welcome to any record by the great Italian pianist Michelangeli, but it is impossible to work up any real enthusiasm for this CD reissue of recordings of two Haydn concertos (the popular D major of c1780 and the less familiar G major of C1770), made in the Johanneskirche at Thun in Switzerland in 1975. The playing of the Zurich Chamber Orchestra under Edmond de Stoutz is attractive enough but, as LS said in his original review (and I agree absolutely with all his reluctant criticisms), ''with the piano's entry one's heart sinks''. The solo playing is relentless and aggressive, even in the 'Hungarian' rondo-finale of the Concerto in D, which needs a sense of humour as well as bravura; there is a lot of gratuitous octave-doubling; and the cadenzas, presumably by Michelangeli himself in the D major Concerto, and by Nino Rota in the G major, are far too long, in addition to being out of character. Lionel Salter complained about the ''hollow, recessed sound'' of the piano; this may be marginally improved in the CD transfer, but the balance is disastrous, the orchestra almost inaudible whenever the piano is playing, and the disc does not even offer good value in terms of playing time!'
