Mariinsky Academy of Young Singers Ensemble & Mariinsky Orchestra & Soloists, Valery Gergiev
Furlanetto's basso cantante makes a fine compromise [between Ghiaurov and van Dam] - rich but smooth in fluent French - and Valery Gergiev whips up the score more vigorously than either predecessor...Gergiev... — More…

Tchaikovsky: Piano Concertos Nos. 1 & 2
RecommendedDenis Matsuev (piano)

Mariinsky Orchestra & Chorus, Valery Gergiev
