Piano Concertos 1 & 3

Album by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky & Vladimir Feltsman & National Symphony Orchestra & Mstislav Rostropovich

Piano Concertos Nos. 1 and 3 are orchestral concertos by Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, composed in 1874–75 and 1893 respectively. They exemplify his late-Romantic idiom, pairing bold, expansive themes with virtuosic piano writing and rich orchestral colour; the first concerto played a key role in establishing his international reputation, while the third, left as a single-movement work and issued posthumously, provides a more concise, transitional glimpse of his late compositional voice.
