Powerful Tchaikovsky and Shostakovich from Vasily Petrenko and the RPO

4 out of 5 stars
Some excerpts:
"Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto no. 1 in B flat minor was famously dismissed by its dedicatee, Nikolai Rubinstein, but nevertheless it has become one of the most popular works in the repertoire. In this performance, by Japanese pianist Nobuyuki Tsujii, all the feverish emotions were very much on the surface, as they should be. "
"A combination of phenomenal technique and commitment to its labile temperament produced very exciting results. In the long first movement, the clarity of Tsujii's finger-work and his weight of tone shone through the thick orchestral textures. His approach to the beautiful central movement was touchingly simple and direct and, in the finale, it was back to technical wizardry. Overall, this was a very persuasive account of a work that is full of good tunes but can sound overblown in less accomplished hands."
The Shostakovich symphony no. 8 also received praises, as do conductor Petrenko & the Royal Phil.
