He brings splendour to the greater grandiosity of the Emperor Concerto, but never seems tempted to inflate it into a prototypical Rachmaninov as some of his eminent predecessors have. Lintu steers a judicious course between Romantic indulgence and ‘authentic’ briskness in his choice of tempos and draws crisp, bright textures from what sounds like relatively modest orchestral forces’ (BBC Music Magazine)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0067\/4660\/3571\/files\/TRACK_LISTING_WITH_WORLD_transparent_blue_background_correct_version_80976754-e9e0-46de-b62f-ac42fe034a4c_480x480.png?v=1646155801\"\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0067\/4660\/3571\/files\/TRACK_LISTING_WITH_WORLD_1_fb18cf7d-71cd-450a-8414-ba56731c8399_480x480.png?v=1611967547\" alt=\"\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0067\/4660\/3571\/files\/TRACK_LISTING_WITH_WORLD_1_fb18cf7d-71cd-450a-8414-ba56731c8399_480x480.png?v=1611967547\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePiano Concerto No 1 in C major Op 15[33'18]\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCD1\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e1\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAllegro con brio[14'10]\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e2\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLargo[10'17]\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e3\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRondo: Allegro[8'51]\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePiano Concerto No 2 in B flat major Op 19[28'17]arr.
