This was the very first CD I bought, in May 1989 just before going to the Bavarian Alps for the first time. So I associate it with memories of stepping out from Garmisch on a beautiful golden morning, across the meadows, heading for the Ostfelderkopf.
This really was a favourite piece of mine, but I found it less interesting this time. Unlike so much of Beethoven - eg the F major Rasumovsky quartet I am listening to a lot at the moment - there is a lot of (wonderful) material but he doesn't seem to do so much with it. Listening to the first movement, I wondered "where's the development?". Maybe I don't get on with concertos as well as I did before - too much decoration.
