Leonard Bernstein, Beethoven Piano Concerto No. 1 and Mozart Piano Concerto No. 25.
”The internationally-acclaimed power trio returns with their highly-anticipated, second full-length release for Moonjune Records.
Mercy, Pity, Peace & Love is a concept album deriving its inspiration as much from William Blake’s visionary aesthetics (the title is taken from the poet’s “Songs of Innocence and Experience”) as from a diversity of 20th-century musical icons – ranging from Jimi Hendrix, King Crimson, Stevie Wonder and Tortoise, to Igor Stravinsky and Olivier Messiaen. Offering hard-edged, straight-ahead beats, jazzy ballads, and even a cover version of Hendrix’s “Purple Haze” which is bound to set your ears on fire, this album is filled with furious guitars riffs, progressive keyboard extravaganzas, and monstrous, thundering drums. Play it loud!”

I purchased the 192/24 digital download version of the R.F.K. '89 shows and they’re spectacular. I was at those shows too! Given the technology in '73, I was wondering how the sound was?
Very exquisite.
He possesses astounding technique.
there’s something about his timing when he plays that just catches my hear…
I am listening to 6/24/73 right now and I think it sounds excellent.
You can check out multiple extended sound samples from the box set here:

New on Qobuz. I primarily wanted to see how ‘The Lark Ascending’ compared with that on the Neville Marriner CD I have had for 30 years. No immediate earth-shattering conclusions other than that the first violin was showcased much more on the Liverpool Philharmonic version.
A pivotal record.
John Cale, producer, always understood the immediacy of a recording.
