Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Good value but a raw performanceTchaikovsky poured passion and pianistic fireworks into all three of these concerti, Pletnev's fingers are brilliant, but in his quest to show off his superb technique, he tramples all over Tchakovsky's passion and nunances. Such a shame, I wish I could play with a mere fraction of Pletnev's admirable technique, but despite the attraction of the excellent value of this triple concerto set, I would urge prospective buyers to seek out recordings by Gilels, Ashkenazy or Ogden and make up their Tchaikovsky 3 concerto library by buying the recordings individually, you may lose a few £ but you'll have recordings that you will play again and again. Sorry Mr Pletnev, I'm sure you'll have many more successes, but this recording set isn't one of them. Rating:  - Brilliant, But sadly not perfect!I have heard many versions of Tchaikovsky's famous 1st piano concerto andam pleased to say the one on this recording is one of the best. Pletnev'stone and communication through the music could not be better. Thewonderful theme at the very beginning of the first movement is capturedbeautifully by the accompanying orchestra. Even throughout the rest of thework, without any return of this theme, the players manage to indulge inthe evident romanticism of the 1st Concerto. Tchaikovsky's larger worksoften follow this structure. One great, awe-inspiring theme thatoverwhelms the audience followed by a slight descent into developingpassages. It is all too often a great shame that these long parts of thescore are left as a second-concern to the orchestra ... Read More: Rating:  - Another example of Pletnev's brillianceTchaikovsky's piano concertos are well known and much recorded but few versions are as complete as this, Mikhail Pletnev has complete mastery of the instrument, his tone and colour reveal hitherto hidden depths to these concertos. The one flaw in this set is a small cut in the second concerto but it remains a highly reccomendable version ... Well worth the modest outlay. |
