Ohlsson's performance of Op. 2 No. 1 is immaculate… The Appassionato has a swelling, rolling first movement which does it full justice; a rather mannered second movement… and a last movement which is emphatic rather than headlong. His Op. 109 begins altogether too hesitantly, and has a middle movement which isn't prestissimo, as marked; but a probing, finally elevated third movement.
