Piano Concertos

Album by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky & Robert Schumann & Peter Rösel & Gewandhausorchester Leipzig & Kurt Masur

Piano Concertos is a collection of piano concertos by Russian composer Pyotr Ilitch Tchaikovsky, composed in the late 19th century (primarily 1874–1879). The works exemplify Romantic-era orchestral richness and virtuosic piano writing, combining sweeping melodies and dramatic contrasts that reflect Tchaikovsky's development as a composer and his place in the concerto repertoire.
