A feast for piano and orchestra that unleashes Tchaikovsky's passion
An overwhelmingly brilliant performance by Gary Graffman, George Szell and the Cleveland Orchestra.
The Piano Concerto No. 1 maintains a constant sense of tension from the powerful opening chords to the final movement. Grafman's virtuoso playing and Szell's precise conducting bring out the full drama of Tchaikovsky's music. As a representative recording of Russian music from the 1970s, this recording still shines today.
