Emil Gilels - The Complete RCA and Columbia Album Collection

Among the first Soviet musicians allowed to travel in the West, Emil Gilels s American debut on October 3, 1955, with Eugene Ormandy and the Philadelphia Orchestra caused a sensation. Later that month, Gilels recorded his best-selling collaboration with Fritz Reiner and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra in Tchaikovsky s First Piano Concerto. Subsequent American tours between 1958 and 1965 yielded a small yet select group of recordings for the two leading American classical labels, RCA and Columbia, including the Brahms Second Concerto with Reiner/Chicago, and the Chopin First Concerto with Ormand...

Works for the left hand - Vol.1

On this first release in a planned three-disc anthology of piano music for the left hand, Maxime Zecchini performs works by Ravel, Scriabin, Saint-Saens and Brahms. Paul Wittgenstein, a wealthy Austrian pianist who lost his right arm during World War I, commissioned many composers to write for the left hand, and thanks to him we have works such as Ravel's glorious Piano Concerto, heard here in a transcription for solo piano. Scriabin wrote the two pieces on this recording for his personal use, as he was suffering from an injured right hand at the time. The three Saint-Saens pieces were written... [Read More]

This disc contains both DDD and ADD recordings.Record collectors know Noel Lee as the pianist whose recordings appeared on the emergent Nonesuch label in the 1960s, but he has also had a distinguished career as a composer. Born in 1924, Lee has impeccable credentials, from studies with Walter Piston at Harvard to the obligatory pilgrimage to Paris and Nadia Boulanger. Boulanger's teaching stressed the neo-classical ideal of clarity, and that is reflected in Lee's music, along with the serial organization that prevailed in the fifties when he found his voice.Aaron Copland said Lee was defined by "cool intensity." and this disc shows it. Coolness can be felt as an attitude in the "Caprices on the name Schoenberg," a piano concerto in which the protagonist lurks around the shadowy edges of an orchestral film noir, and it is tangible in the spare, metallic textures heard there and in "Convergences," a jagged, jangling duo for flute and harpsichord. The intensity reaches its peak in the "Dialogues" for violin and piano in which a winding, four-note motive is subjected to hundreds of permutations. This is not music which fades into the background gladly, but it will reward attentive listening.
