Piano Concertos nos. 1 & 2

Album by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky & Denis Matsuev & Orchestra of the Mariinsky Theatre & Valery Gergiev

Piano Concertos nos. 1 & 2 are orchestral piano concertos by Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, completed in 1875 and 1879 respectively. They exemplify late-Romantic concerto writing with broad, expressive melodies, lush orchestration and virtuosic piano writing, and occupy important places in Tchaikovsky's output as demonstrations of his approach to concerto form and orchestral colour.
First released: 10th February 2014
