Album Description
Russian piano music is presented and performed brilliantly here by Russian pianist ANDREI GAVRILOV on this compilation of EMI Classics recordings made in 1977 and 1979 at Abbey Road Studios in London. The Philharmonia Orchestra under the baton of Riccardo Muti and the London Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Simon Rattle play the first piano concertos of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky and Sergei Prokofiev with Gavrilov in the first part of the program with delightful intensity and fire. The main theme of the Tchaikovsky concerto is one of his most well known and has become quite famous even in pop culture. From the first notes played, most will recognize this very romantic and dramatic piece of music. Though lesser well know, Prokofiev's first piano concerto demonstrates Gavrilov's mastering of the instrument as the work immediately takes off into a flight of ecstasy from the very beginning that only the most accomplished pianists can realize. The program is! followed by 3 shorter in length solo piano pieces by Tchaikovsky, Prokofiev and Mily Balakirev. "Islamey" composed by Balakirev (referred to often as the founding father of the Russian composers) is often heard in its orchestral version but this solo piano recording offers the same fire and dancing spirit that many conductors conjure from the large orchestra.
