Nelson Freire appears as the soloist for Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 5 – a piece which made him famous as a wunderkind at the age of 12. The Brazilian pianist has long been seen as a connoisseur’s pianist, but he is now thought of as one of today’s universally recognized great musicians, bringing a degree of tranquil thoughtfulness to his interpretations that puts him in a class of his own.
"In the age when overt showmanship reaps big rewards and grabs lots of attention, the Brazilian pianist Nelson Freire offers a gentle reminder that decorous piano playing and interpretive depth have an irresistible power all their own." - The New York Times (London)
