5.0 out of 5 stars A Beautiful Performance from Pianist and Orchestra Alike, 3 Sep 2006
By J Scott Morrison (Middlebury VT, USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
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.

This recording has an SACD release as well.

Recommended.

Scott Morrison

2.0 out of 5 stars Don't buy, 28 Feb 2006
By Mr. J. E. Matthew "jackmatthew2005" (Birmingham, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
1. Piano concerto no.1:- This recording seems OK for the price but it suffers more from the strengths of other budget recordings than it's own weaknesses. It seems at times to be bolder and more exciting than the other naxos recording (with Bernard Glemser) but when compared with the Browning/ Ozawa/ LSO version, it pales as a somewhat boring affair. While this might not be a detailed comment on the recording itself, it reflects the fact that there are simply better budget recordings out there.

2. Pinao concerto no.3 and Andante and Finale:- Compared with the previously mentioned naxos recording of these works, this recording holds up well in the Allegro and finale but suffers terribly from a lack of sensitivity in what should be a very moving Andante. Mikhail pletnev's recording with the philharmonia is preferable for the Allegro with the best recording of the andante being the other naxos version and for the finale it's worth buying it in it's symphonic form as Tchaikovsky's 7th (!) which can be hard to find.
