Customer Reviews
Great performance, awefull recording!
I've bought 1200+ cds through Amazon and have only written one other review because of nostalgia. I felt inclined to write this so folks know that the quality of the recording couldn't be much worse. I have numerous recordings from the 20s and 30s that sound much better. There is a terrible amount of hissing/static on this cd.
The other reviewers stated the truth and as far as the performance went they said it all, the performance was awesome but I couldn't get by the noise and couldn't enjoy the music. May be good for historical reference though? Anyway I was dissapointed that the folks who raved about this recording didn't say anything, they should have. LOL
uncomparable
The bravura, power, strenth, energy, virtuosity of the pianio in Khachaturian concerto is simply unbeliveble. Surprisingly to me, there are also moments full of poetry and nostalgia in second part.
And the orchesta with the Kusewicki - this is really strong support, and - despite the age of the recording - the details are quite well audible (I know Naxos edition, they made wonders!)
Simply amazing!
One of the greatest piano concerto recording I have ever heard (not the same with the concerto). Two great artists inspired to its heights by each other!
To comparision I know only another version of the piece - with Kapell again - the one with Ormady. The orchestra is not as marvelous as Boston.
Khachaturian/Prokofiev concertos
This is one of the the best Khachaturian and Prokofiev recordings ever!
