Review
Tchaikovsky s Piano Concerto No. 1, with its big tunes, winning melodies (some based on Ukrainian folk-songs) and brilliant orchestration, has become the most popular of all Russian concertos. The less familiar Piano Concerto No. 3 was originally a single movement which the pianist, Sergey Taneyev, turned into a three movement work by orchestrating Tchaikovsky s sketches for his unrealised Seventh Symphony, published in 1897 as the Andante and Finale, Op.79

Album works:

1. Piano Concerto No. 1 in B flat minor, Op. 23
Performed by Russian Philharmonic Orchestra with Konstantin Scherbakov Conducted by Dmitry Yablonsky

2. Piano Concerto No. 3 in E flat major, Op. post. 75
Performed by Russian Philharmonic Orchestra with Konstantin Scherbakov Conducted by Dmitry Yablonsky

3. Pieces (2, andante & finale), for piano & orchestra, Op. post. 79 (completed by Taneyev, also arr. for 2 pianos)
Performed by Russian Philharmonic Orchestra with Konstantin Scherbakov Conducted by Dmitry Yablonsky

Recorded in Studio No. 5, KULTURA State TV & Radio Company, Moscow, from 14th to 17th March, 2003 at 24 bit High Definition Audio. --Surround Records

What a treasure!
I literally grew up on this music. I have easily played it over a 100 times if not closer to 200. As for the performances, they are classics and you certainly can't go wrong with them - though I wouldn't say they are the 'best' for either of the respective pieces. Konstantin Scherbakov is an extraordinary pianist. The first thing you notice on hearing these two excellent performances is his amazing ability to play at high speed with no loss of control or shapeliness of phrasing. While never short-changing the virtuoso elements (particularly in the finale), has a give-and-take that few other versions match. There are a couple of brief spots in the first movement where the tension does drop a bit as Scherbakov lapses into dreamy reverie, but otherwise this is as persuasive a performance of this warhorse as any on disc. The orchestra and conductor have just as much to offer as the soloist, being totally at one with the interpretive concept and wholly characterful in their collective response.
I am very happy to report the DTS-HD version is the best that will ever be available for this recording and looking forward to see more music titles with this superior audio quality.

Outstanding Recording
You know you've got a winner on your hands when a performance of a piece you know by heart and already own in dozens of recordings makes you sit up and listen to it with fresh ears. That's exactly what happened with this new presentation of Tchaikovsky Concertos. Konstantin Sherbakov and the Russian Philarmonic Orchestra accompany with enthusiasm and sensitivity, the sonics are very good--warm and well-balanced. There are many recordings of these works available, but if you're looking for fine modern versions in top quality surround-sound, there are very good artistic reasons to own this--and you won't have to sacrifice interpretive quality for a 7.1 sonic thrill. A good job all around!

a great performance, in even greater sound.
It's hard to get excited about Tchaikovsky's First Piano Concerto. We've heard it a million times, and there's no shortage of excellent recordings - for example, Van Cliburn's, which was one of the best-selling classical recordings of all time. Still, every now and then we hear a performance that makes us fall in love with the music all over again. Listening to these performances yet again, and making some spot comparisons with a few other favorite versions, it's clear that Surround Records state-of-the-art multichannel engineering, led to give this disc highest recommendation, Sherbakov performance that is first of all generally excellent, but that also contains something extra, a positive quality not to be found in competing versions (at least not quite to the same degree). It doesn't mean that everything about it is "the best" in direct comparative listening (a silly notion to begin with), and of course everyone will have their own personal preference in this music--but if you try this disc you will surely hear the qualities described above, just as I did, and hopefully will be similarly impressed.

I ran around between several different systems searching for audible differences between formats, but truth to tell, there didn't seem to be any better then this. If you are sold on the Blu-ray format and own a high end system, then by all means grab this disc in its latest incarnation. Either way, you should own it: you'll find the best available quality of recordings in 7.1 DTS-HD Master Audio Format.
