Album Notes & Community Reviews

This definitive Deutsche Grammophon recording famously pairs piano virtuoso Sviatoslav Richter with conductor Herbert von Karajan and the Vienna Symphony Orchestra. The release remains a benchmark interpretation of Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 1, notable for its grand scale despite reported artistic tensions between the soloist and conductor.
