Album Notes & Community Reviews

Released around the time of the composer's death, this recording presents his heavily revised, youthful first concerto with profound authority. The performance balances the sparkling, virtuosic piano textures with the brooding, lush orchestration characteristic of Russian romanticism. It serves as an essential historical testament to his peerless command of his own demanding literature.
