Overview
This comprehensive 2-CD set from the acclaimed Teldec Apex series brings together the complete piano concertos of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, alongside the virtuosic Concert Fantasia in G major. Performed by the formidable pianist Elisabeth Leonskaja, accompanied by the New York Philharmonic under the baton of Kurt Masur, this collection is a tour de force of Romantic repertoire.
The set features the world-famous Piano Concerto No. 1 in B flat minor, known for its iconic opening chords, as well as the equally demanding but less frequently recorded Concertos No. 2 and No. 3. Leonskaja’s interpretation is celebrated for its blend of Russian soul and technical precision, while Masur’s direction ensures a balanced, powerful orchestral support. Originally recorded in the late 1990s, this reissue remains a definitive choice for those seeking the complete Tchaikovsky cycle for piano and orchestra.
Áttekintés (Hungarian)
Ez a Teldec Apex sorozatban megjelent 2 CD-s gyűjtemény Pjotr Iljics Csajkovszkij összes zongoraversenyét tartalmazza, kiegészítve a virtuóz G-dúr Hangversenyfantáziával. A felvételeken a neves zongoraművész, Elisabeth Leonskaja hallható, akit a New York-i Filharmonikusok kísérnek Kurt Masur vezényletével.
A készletben helyet kapott a világhírű 1. b-moll zongoraverseny, valamint a technikailag szintén rendkívül igényes, de ritkábban hallható 2. és 3. zongoraverseny is. Leonskaja játéka híres az orosz zenei hagyományok és a technikai precizitás ötvözéséről, Kurt Masur pedig biztosítja a nagyívű, erőteljes zenekari kíséretet. Ez az összeállítás alapmű minden komolyzene-kedvelő számára, aki Csajkovszkij zongorára és zenekarra írt teljes életművét egyetlen kiadványban szeretné tudni.
Interesting Facts
- The "Unplayable" Concerto: Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto No. 1 was initially rejected by his friend Nikolai Rubinstein as "unplayable" and "clumsy," yet it went on to become the most popular piano concerto in history.
- A Masterful Partnership: Kurt Masur, a giant of the podium, and Elisabeth Leonskaja shared a deep musical understanding, particularly in the works of 19th-century masters, which is evident in these live-wire recordings.
- The Rare Third: Piano Concerto No. 3 is actually a single-movement work (Allegro brillante), based on sketches for a symphony that Tchaikovsky abandoned before turning them into this concerto.
- Apex Series: The Teldec Apex line was created to preserve legendary recordings by artists like Leonskaja, making them accessible to a wider audience without compromising on audio quality.
Érdekességek (Hungarian)
- A „játszhatatlan” verseny: Csajkovszkij 1. zongoraversenyét barátja, Nyikolaj Rubinstein kezdetben „játszhatatlannak” minősítette, mégis a zenetörténet egyik legnépszerűbb művévé vált.
- A ritka harmadik: A 3. zongoraverseny valójában egyetlen tételből áll, és olyan vázlatokon alapul, amelyeket Csajkovszkij eredetileg egy szimfóniához szánt.
