Allegro con fuoco — Emil Gilels: Piano Czech Philharmonic Orchestra Karel Ančerl: Conductor USSR State Symphony Orchestra Kirill Kondrashin: Conductor — Emil Gilels (1916-1985), unlike his friend and compatriot Sviatoslav Richter, enjoyed playing Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto No. 2, Op. 44 just as much as the celebrated Concerto No. 1, Op. 23. Their playing style was very different. Both equally virtuoso, Richter’s flashes of emotivity and virtuosity contrast with Gilels’ natural restraint and impressive legato. The two scores here, which met with surprisingly contrasting acclaim, appear only rarely together. released June 1, 2017 #tchaikovsky #concerto #piano
