Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto No.1 -Composer's Own Version, Prokofiev Piano Concerto No.2 : Gerstein(P)Gaffigan / Berlin Deutsches SO (Hybrid)

Since 1894, Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 1 has been published and performed in a version containing numerous unauthorized posthumously added editorial alterations. This is the first recording using the new scholarly edition by the Tchaikovsky Archive and Museum in Moscow of the Piano Concerto's 1879 version - the version approved and conducted by Tchaikovsky until his last public appearance in 1893. Noted for his technique, intelligence and curiosity, pianist Kirill Gerstein's has been spotlighted by the NY Times as one of the most respected pianists of his generation.
