Description

|
|
|
Prize-winning American pianist Jeffrey Campbell has ardently championed the virtuosic and fiery piano concerto written by master of orchestral color Rimsky-Korsakov. Campbell performs his own cadenza, heard for the first time on this recording. "Puts the work in new, highly favorable light. In five movements occupying just 18 minutes total, the concerto seems more like a light, Russian-flavored suite, with an engaging dominant main theme that will stay in your head for a long time…. Levine's performance gives the music [Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 3] an attractive expansiveness that removes the latent dance impulse and moves it a couple of notches closer to the level of the great last three symphonies. Telarc's sound is clean and spacious, and the CD is highly recommended."—Buffalo News "The reading of Tchaikovsky's Polish Symphony … [features] Telarc's excellent sound, Levine's patient pacing and some tenderly phrased string playing…. The off-the-beat timpani writing at the work's close sounds spectacular."—Gramophone
