5 out of 5 stars FANTASTIC - INSPIRED PERFORMANCES.......2007-04-23

Let me center my remarks on the 2nd piano concerto. May I say, with pun intended, this performance is "2nd to none!". I have had a few versions of the 2nd piano concerto over the past fifty years. In those years I might have listened to no more than three times. Never has this music "grabbed" my ear. THIS PERFORMANCE HAS CAUSED ME TO LISTEN TO IT AT LEAST FIVE TIMES IN THE LAST MONTH SINCE RECEIVING IT.

4 out of 5 stars Pletnev is an amazing pianist.......2006-01-13

It's true. Pletnev can really capture the passion when playing the piano. And with this 2-disc set of Tchaikovsky's piano concertos, you can't go wrong with anything.

The First Piano Concerto is by far one of the finest I've ever heard, along with the versions including pianists Daniel Barenboim and Constantine Orbelian. Maestro Fedoseyev and the Philharmonia Orchestra do a stupendous job of backing up Pletnev. There are no wrong notes, no over-blaring of the brass, and best of all, no overpowering the lyrical sounds of the piano. The finale in the third movement might be a bit too quick, but it doesn't matter, as long as this rendition of Tchaikovsky's first piano concerto gives out a strong and inspired performance.

The Concert Fantasy for Piano and Orchestra is an attention-grabber. It sounds serene and melodic, the typical Tchaikovsky. It is less well-known than P. Concerto no. 1, but it has the same russian flair for expression. The solo in the first movement is to die for, and the second movement has its special charm of taking people's breath away. An A+ for this one.

Hearing the original version of the 2nd P. Concerto instead of the Siloti version has given me mixed feelings. For the good, the violin and cello solos in the 2nd movement are touching, and the piano and orchestra are in top form. For the bad, the tempi seems to be very random at some points. The fast parts, for example, don't seem very fast at all.

Since I don't listen to the unfinished 3rd that much, I don't have anything to say about it. All in all, the sound quality is super, and the low price is exceptional. It's a must buy.

5 out of 5 stars CONCERTO NO.2 NOT THE SILOTI EDITION.......2003-08-06

The Concerto No.2 is NOT the bowdlerized Siloti edition--not only does the label clearly state that the original edition is played, but the violin and cello solos removed from the Siloti edition are clearly audible to anyone who has really listened to this recording. I don't even LIKE Concerto No.1, and this performance bowled me over--highly recommeded--and, at this price, an absolute STEAL!

5 out of 5 stars PERKINS IS WRONG!.......2003-08-06

Mr. Perkins is absolutely wrong about this set! In the first place, Concerto No.2 is NOT the hatcheted Siloti edition--did Mr. Perkins listen to this recording at all? Not only does the label clearly state that Concerto No.2 IS the original version, but the violin and cello solos missing from the Siloti edition are clearly present in Pletnev's recording! I highly recommend this set to anyone--I don't even LIKE Concerto No.1, but I found myself bowled over by this performance!

1 out of 5 stars Sorry to be negative, but..........2003-02-01

Pletnev hits all the notes, but misses the Russian soul and the Romantic fire. The performance of the Second Piano Concerto in particular is, at best, a train running willy-nilly downhill (seemingly without a conductor--not to mention that it's the hatcheted Siloti edition). I suppose I have been spoiled for any other versions of the concerti by listening to the absolutely miraculous interpretations by Igor Zhukov and the Moscow Radio Symphony Orchestra (now sadly out of print). It's a good thing this set is relatively inexpensive, because then I felt no qualms about simply throwing it away.

5 out of 5 stars Outstanding Recording of Little-Known Tchaikovsky!!.......2004-10-06

For a long time, I have waited to hear Tchaikovsky's Second and Third Piano Concertos. After hearing and playing horn in the orchestra for the First, I eagerly awaited the opportunity to hear the other two works. I have finally done that.

Jerome Lowenthal is an obscure name today in the classical music realm, and this is a terrible crime! He plays the works of Tchaikovsky and Bartok, so this may help explain the obscurity. No more!

Lowenthal plays a bit like Krystian Zimerman, one of my favorite pianists. He has a beautiful tone that can also be powerful and commanding. His virtuosity is incredible, and he really makes the most of these piano showpieces.

The Second Concerto is noble, grand and full of majesty. Comissiona gives expert readings with the London Symphony Orchestra. The rhythms are crisp and accurate, and the virtuosity of the London Symphony is incredible. They play marvelously in tune, and they exploit the full dynamic range. One can hear the orchestration and Tchaikovskian harmonic language very well. Lowenthal plays the Cadenza with amazing power and ease. It is a monstrous and difficult, and the debt to Franz Liszt is readily apparent.

The Third Concerto is very fascinating, also. It is a one-movement work, the product of a rejected symphonic movement that Tchaikovsky felt did not suit the symphonic genre. It is full of power and beautiful melodies. Lowenthal, Comissiona and the orchestra really give it their all. This work should be better represented in the classical music repertoire.

Overall, this CD is a fine achievement. The recorded sound is good, and the liner notes are excellent and informative. I have not heard the two-CD set with Mikhail Pletnev playing all three Tchaikovsky concertos, but I have read about it. It receives fairly high marks, and it may suffice if this recording is not available to the reader. My friend has the Pletnev set, and he says the piano is balanced a bit bright and forward in the Second Concerto. Anyways, this is a great CD.

5 out of 5 stars shouldn't be without!.......2001-05-02

This is an incredibly beautiful CD. Whether you are a serious Tchaikovsky affianado or just beginning to get into classical music, this CD is a must-get. Jerome Lowenthal's technical mastery and extraordinary passion are on luminous display here. I have spent hours enjoying this music and find that even though I have many CDs, I go back to this one time and again.

5 out of 5 stars just a great cd.......2001-04-14

Beautiful concertos and wonderful performances. I am a classical music lover not a reviewer but consider Jerome Lowenthal one of the greater (albeit lesser known) pianists of his generation. He has also recorded the 1st Piano concerto with this orchestra (on a different cd) and both are examples of Tchaikovsky's music performed with extraordinary grace and passion.

4 out of 5 stars Mostly Magnificent Menuhin, with a Few Reservations.......2004-01-06

The recent trend toward classical box sets focusing on the performer instead of the composer (see my reviews of the various DG/Decca "Original Masters" sets) continues with EMI's new "Yehudi Menuhin - The Violinist." Sure EMI's past sets have showcased individual performances by Samson Francois, Eugen Jochum and Rudolf Kempe to name a few, but it was always under the heading of a given composer's works, and in the cases mentioned above, to Chopin's piano pieces, Bruckner's Symphonies and Strauss' Orchestral Works respectively. Therefore, this Menuhin collection is the first of EMI's "Budget Box Sets" to showcase a performer playing the works of a variety of composers.

As Menuhin was an EMI recording artist for an incredible 68 years (1931-99), his performances for the label number in the hundreds. With so much music from which to choose, this 10-disc set aims "to highlight some of those alternative versions, including recordings that have not been easily available since the days of LP and others that have never previously appeared on CD." Therefore, the obvious mainstream, easily attainable recordings are omitted here -- for example, the Beethoven/Mendelssohn VCs with Furtwangler, the Elgar VC with the composer conducting, and the Bruch/Mendelssohn VCs with Susskind and Kurtz.

However, a lot of this material has been on disc before on titles which the serious collector most likely already owns. Most of the Bach is currently available as part of the Bach "Budget Box Series" title. The Bruch, Mendelssohn, Brahms and Vivaldi VCs were all available in the now out-of-print 2CD EMI Seraphim series. The Elgar and the Walton are still available in the "British Composers" series. And perhaps most annoyingly, the previously unpublished Beethoven VC and Tchaikovsky "Serenade melancolique" (available as a single disc), and the Beethoven Romance No. 2 (available on an EMI Encore title) were both reissued just a few months back.

But let's focus on the positive, which are the other rare performances, the most significant being the never before reissued 1954 performance of Mozart's Violin Concerto No. 4 with John Pritchard and the Philharmonia. Other elusive recordings include Viuextemps and Paganini VCs with Fistoulari, Lalo and Saint-Saens works with Goossens, and excellent Berg and Bartok accounts with Boulez. Though I'm delighted at their inclusion, of lesser importance is a 1965 Bartok VC No. 2 with Dorati -- his mono EMI with Furtwangler and an earlier account with Dorati on Mercury Living Presence are far superior. Also, neither the Sibelius (Boult, 1955) nor Nielsen (Woldike, 1952) Concertos are truly Menuhin's cups of tea.

My last complaint has to do with the packaging. I know I'm being rather trite but it seems that EMI has taken the "slim" out of slim, paper-sleeved box sets with their latest batch of releases. Both this title and the new box of Liszt Orchestral Works by Masur are noticeably thicker than previous EMI sets featuring a similar number of discs. A minor point, but us serious classical collectors need every centimeter of space on our increasingly crowded CD shelves, not to mention the amount of wasted packaging.

Overall though, despite the fact that "Yehudi Menuhin - The Violinist" is not as essential a reissue as its counterparts in the "Original Masters" series, it is a delightful set that most collectors will thoroughly enjoy.

Amazon.com

Benno Moiseiwitsch's elegant style and plush, upholstered tone transformed even tired warhorses into pure magic. If the Tchaikovsky Concerto No. 1 isn't quite as magical as other Moiseiwitsch performances because it often lacks ideal forward momentum, it is a solid performance ennobled by a poetic slow movement of consummate artistry. Unlike the outstanding Pletnev recording of the Concerto No. 2, most older renditions use the cut Siloti edition, and this one even adds a few smaller cuts, but Moiseiwitsch's playing is at its peak here. The filler, the lovely Chanson Triste for solo piano, is a gem, with Moiseiwitsch giving a priceless lesson in keyboard poetry. Ward Marston's excellent transfers help make this a must for historical collectors. Fans of the stereo versions of No. 1 by Argerich, Cliburn, and others will find this disc a useful supplement, illustrating the older, but no less valid, approach of one of the master pianists of the past century. --Dan Davis

2 out of 5 stars Quiet performances. Noisy recording. Ow, my ears..........2005-05-05

The notes to this CD say that Moiseiwitsch's Tchaikovsky First was generally overlooked when first released and withdrawn quickly from the catalog. It's easy to understand why. This is a very subdued performance in a work that is not designed to be subdued.

Moiseiwitsch's recording of the Tchaikovsky Second was actually the first-ever recording of the work (1944). It's hard to believe that any work by Tchaikovsky would have had to wait six decades for a recording. What we have here is not as subdued as the recording of the First, but it doesn't plumb its depths, either. It feels very much like a first exposure to the work. Siloti's edition is used which, given the surface noise in this recording, is just as well--you're not going to hear a lot of subtleties.

When this CD's producer, Ward Marston, came to prominence, it was in the era of telephone-quality filterings and, worse, the gating filter (surely the work of the Devil), so Marston's approach was a godsend: no brute-force filtering, allowing the full music spectrum to be heard. He acheived noise reduction by such methods as choosing a stylus that properly matched the grooves of the records. However, in the CD notes Marston himself complains about how noisy these records were and somewhat apologetically says that he used only the de-crackling part of CEDAR during his transfer. Speaking as one who has collected 78s all his life, I find the noise on this CD unbearable--it actually made my ears hurt. It is as loud as the orchestra in full forte and virtually obliterates quieter passages. With the First, you have a subdued performance with aggressive background noise, a combination that is a chore to listen to. The slow movement of the Second is practically buried. I think it is time to admit that computerized noise reduction is a mature enough technology for talented people to use in the restoration of recordings from the 78-rpm era. In fact, I am going to apply my own noise-reduction tools to this CD, just so I can bear to listen to it.

4 out of 5 stars 25 Classical Heartbreakers.......2006-11-29

Although these are popular and widely heard compositions (that's why I gave it 4 stars) they are very soothing when you want to mellow out. However, I can't understand why the title reads '20 Classical Heartbreakers' when there are 25 pieces.

5 out of 5 stars A Beautiful Performance from Pianist and Orchestra Alike.......2004-06-24

Konstantin Scherbakov is a Russian pianist who has of late made many recordings, primarily of Russian music, for Naxos and Marco Polo. His recording of the Shostakovich 'Preludes and Fugues' is among the very best as is his recording of Shostakovich's first piano sonata. He has also recorded Rachmaninov brilliantly; he had come to international attention in 1990 when he played Rachmaninov's complete works for solo piano in Italy and garnered an enthusiastic endorsement from none other than Sviatoslav Richter. In the several years that he has been recording for Naxos/Marco Polo I have been increasingly impressed with his breadth and depth of musicianship.

Here, of course, we have performances of one of the most-recorded piano concertos ever written, Tchaikovsky's First. Practically every major pianist of the twentieth century (and many not-so-major ones) have recorded this concerto, and there are many fine performances. This one is able to hold its own amongst the very best. Not only does Scherbakov give a brilliant performance, he is given a sensitive and flexible accompaniment by Dmitri Yablonsky and the Russian Philharmonic. Particular commendation go to the principal oboe and flute, and even more to the principal cello and violin, all of whom have important solos in both concertos recorded here. Yablonsky manages transitional passages with skill and suavity; listen, for instance, to the second movement of the First Concerto: the transition to the quick middle section begins as naturally as to be almost unnoticed, not something that every conductor can pull off, and the same is true for the gearing back down for the return of the opening andante. Scherbakov has lightning-fast leggiero passages but also has thunderous octaves that never become clangorous. And in the midst of these technical displays he also makes music. As I've stated in earlier reviews, Scherbakov's sound does not seem to vary from piano to piano, a sign of a great player.

The Third Concerto has a marvelous first movement, played with great brilliance here, but is let down by the second and third movements, each completed after Tchaikovsky's death by his friend, Sergey Taneyev. It is no wonder that this concerto is rarely played. Still, it is given a good performance here by soloist and orchestra and certainly anyone who loves Tchaikovsky's music - and only snobs don't, I suspect - it should be in every collection.

The CD is a hybrid SACD (mastered in DSD) and can be played on either regular CD player or 5.1 multichannel surround sound equipment. The sound is rich and full in both formats. This recording has a plain audio CD (non-SACD) release as well.

Recommended.

5 out of 5 stars A pleasent surprise.......2006-11-23

I never heard of Bernd Glemser before I bought this CD, but I think it's one of the best performances that I know of. The others being Horowitz and Kissin, not the Kissin-von Karajan, which is too slow, but the Kissin performance at Carnegie hall with Seiji Oszawa. This was broadcast on PBS and is not on CD. Glemser plays with energy and makes this concerto exciting and the slow parts are beautiful. Glemser understands Tchaikovsky, he plays this with a virtuoso piano style, but you can still hear the Tchaikovsky who wrote the Nutcracker suite.

4 out of 5 stars Worthwhile budget disc.......2001-11-18

OK, so maybe the performance of the First Piano Concerto isn't all that jaw-dropping or distinctive, and not in the same league as Argerich or Van Cliburn. But it's still worth a listen, and Glemser/Wit's laid back approach reveals that the old warhorse's greatness is in the subtle, quieter moments, not the pounding chords. The remaining pieces on this disc, especially the Andante and Finale, are intriguing and uncommon enough finds to make the disc worth the modest asking price.
