Arcadi Volodos plays Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto No. 1
It is the epitome of both the Romantic piano concerto and the “Russian soul”: Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 1. In this recording, it is played by Arcadi Volodos, often described as a “magician of the keyboard”. Plus, conductor Neeme Järvi presents fascinating discoveries from the Russian repertoire: a suite from Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov’s opera-ballet Mlada, and the Fourth Symphony of Sergei Taneyev, a pupil of Tchaikovsky.
