4.0 out of 5 stars NOT the premier recording it claims to be., 15 Mar 2007
One of this disc's claims to fame is that of consisting of "premiere recordings". In this case of the Blok/Schnittke/Ivashkin version of the Concertino, this appears to be true. In the case of the more substantial Op. 58 Concerto it is not. The work was previously available in an analogue recording by Roger Albin and the "Orchestre des Cento Soli", conducted by Rudolf Albert. To my ears that earlier recording also had rather more fire to it. Not only was the Albin recording available (it still pops up on auction sites, etc. from time to time, and gets the occasional airing on the radio (most recently on Radio France, in early March 2007), but it was issued in both 10" and 12" LP formats.

Still, this Chandos recording is all that's available at the moment. In the concerto, not as good as the Albin, nor the old BBC Radio 3 recording (never released on disc) by Rohan de Saram, the BBC Philharmonic and Sir Edward Downes, either, but a fair representation of the work none-the-less. The concertino is well worth having for Blok's lighter orchestration (Kabalevsky went right over the top, to my ears).

The same soloist's recording of the later re-write of the concerto, in the form of the Op. 125 Symphony-Concerto, (coupled with an under-driven account of the 2nd Symphony) is best left on the shelf, I think.
