***
"[Piano Concerto] The orchestra is a fine ensemble, producing a magnificently clean sound in the first movement exposition; matching that is Tiberghien’s sense of play, his staccato perfectly formed. A truly imaginative reading; the encore, the charming Fugue, WoO215, has to wait until after a highly energetic rendering of the Fifth Symphony. Refreshing throughout."
