Album Notes & Community Reviews

Captured in a historic session with the Philadelphia Orchestra, the composer delivers a definitive, fiercely authoritative interpretation of his famously demanding concerto. His formidable piano technique emphasizes forward momentum and structural clarity over excessive sentimental indulgence. The release remains an unparalleled primary source for the execution of late Russian romantic performance practice.
