In comparison to the potential hit two piano concertos and three Rachmaninov's Piano Concerto ekes out a rather orchids existence in public musical life. Why is that? If the sweet seriousness of the later work missed, take the skills of 17-year-old composer not really true, or he actually converts the harmonic traces Tchaikovsky? All these questions are answered emphatically this recording. Despite recourses on models such as Schumann, Beethoven, Grieg, Rachmaninov and shows in his early work profile. The thematic ideas are highly memorable, will be processed and sent cavort in a masterly orchestration designed so that one is inclined to give this concert the nickname "The Underestimated" too.
This fate must not share Prokofiev's Third Piano Concerto. His folk-like character, coupled with Impetuous virtuosity, the play brings unadulterated popularity, but also the highest demands on the performers. And it may be speculated that the presence of the American film crews, the Moscow Philharmonic Orchestra and soloists inspired her to this superior performance, as can be heard here. We are delighted to be able to integrate this treasure in our Russia-set.
