           From Clavier Magazine:
Few recordings of the Brahms Piano Concerto # 2 in B-flat… quite equaled the breathtaking intensity that Richter brought to the work, that is, until now. Garnet Ungar…delivers a performance at once powerful and precise. From the opening duet between horn and piano, followed by Brahms's cadenza introduction, Ungar wastes no time establishing a magisterial presence. His playing is specific: each motive is shaped with an identity of its own that remains memorable for the duration of the work, giving the musical material structural integrity. The solidity and passion of Ungar's Brahms has much in common with Richter, but it is no imitation. On the contrary, he is his own man, lending its oceanic form and fistfuls of chord progressions immediacy and intensity. Rarely has the scherzo sounded more robust and urgent, or its compulsive surges so compelling. Ungar finds every opportunity to drive the music forward without taking either motivic material or passagework for granted.
