Album by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky & Emil Gilels & Большой симфонический оркестр имени П. И. Чайковского & Nikolai Golovanov & Заслуженный коллектив России Академический симфонический оркестр Санкт-Петербургской филармонии & Kirill Kondrashin

Piano Concertos No. 1 and No. 2 are concertante works by Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, composed in 1875 and 1879 respectively. Both works combine Romantic orchestral colours with virtuosic piano writing—No. 1 is characterised by expansive, dramatic gestures and memorable themes while No. 2 explores a more classical concerto balance and a lighter, lyrical character, together illustrating Tchaikovsky's evolving approach to large-scale concertos within his career.

First released: 2004
