Description:

[Tchaikovsky's Tchaikovsky Concerto is written in the classical concerto style, with the brilliant technique of the piano and the folkloric melodies played by the orchestra. Rachmaninoff's concerto is a magnificent work that combines modern piano techniques and powerful dynamism with rich lyricism, freely weaving shades of tone and patterns of change on a grand scale. The two masterpieces of Russian piano concertos were recorded by Ashkenazy, who shares the same homeland as Rachmaninoff, as a young man, and are an album that exudes fresh passion.
