Tchaikovsky - Piano Concertos Nos 1-3; Concert Fantasy

by: Philharmonia Orchestra

Release Date March 16, 1998
Tchaikovsky 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.

starring: Mikhail Pletnev
directed by: Rodney Greenberg

Release Date July 02, 2007
Vladimir Fedoseyev was the conductor of the Moscow Radio Symphony Orchestra for thirty years or more and if any group knew what he wanted it was they. This DVD is of a live recording of a 1991 concert of that orchestra in the Alte Oper of Frankfurt, part of a series of video recordings of all the Tchaikovsky symphonies plus a number of his other works. This one also contains excerpts from 'Swan Lake' and the seldom-heard Concert Fantasia for Piano and Orchestra, Op. 56, featuring the pianist Mikhail Pletnev.

The Third Symphony is called the 'Polish' for no other reason than it's final movement is marked 'tempo di polacca'; otherwise there is absolutely nothing Polish about it, unlike the 'Little Russian' (Ukrainian) symphony which teems ... Read More:
