"I am perfectly sure that I like this new performance of the Concerto the best of all. Geza Anda is of the Serkin school of thought in that he also takes the first movement briskly (with a two-in-a-bar feeling), but he is more careful in his precise choice of speed and the result is altogether better judged. The playing is wonderfully clean, full of attractive touches, and glitters as it should. Galliera and the Philharmonia are in equally good form. I was just a little disappointed in the Finale, which is not as exuberant as it seems to me it should be. But this is only a slight reservation in otherwise whole-hearted approval. The recording is good, though oboes here and there sound rather ungrateful." Gramophone November 1955
