JMXR-24023 - Tchaikovsky Concerto No. 1 Arthur Rubinstein
This romantic piano concerto written by Tchaikovsky was first previewed to his mentor Nikolai Rubinstein in a private audition in 1874. However, Rubinstein demanded several changes which Tchaikovsky refused to make. Years later, as this important piece of music became one of the leading examples of Romantic Piano Concertos; it was embraced by Rubinstein and he began to use it in his own repertoire. Erich Leinsdorf, known mainly for his talent conducting Operas such as Madama Butterfly, conducts the Boston Symphony Orchestra on this album originally recorded by RCA and accompanied by the legendary piano talent of Arthur Rubinstein. One can hear both the drama and the passion that made this music popular in the clarity that only XRCD24 can deliver.
