Piano Concertos nos. 1 and 3

Album by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky & Konstantin Scherbakov & Симфонический оркестр Москвы «Русская Филармония» & Dmitry Yablonsky

Piano Concertos Nos. 1 and 3 are piano concertos by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, composed in 1875 and 1893 respectively. The first concerto exemplifies the grand Romantic concerto with bold, memorable themes and virtuosic piano writing against a sweeping orchestral backdrop, while the third is shorter and more fragmentary, displaying late-period lyricism and refined orchestral colour that illuminate developments in Tchaikovsky's mature style.
