About

This recording is the second in a two-volume series of transcriptions and paraphrases for solo piano of music by Tchaikovsky, most of which are receiving their first recordings; volume one (Divine Art DDA25093) concerns orchestral concert works and operatic music; the second is of his ballets. He himself has long been recognised as a master of piano writing, the most famous example being his Piano Concerto No. 1 in B flat minor, Op. 23, famously pronounced unplayable (and worthless) by the great pianist Nikolai Rubinstein but which has become one of the best loved and most performed of all piano concertos. Tchaikovsky made piano versions of his own works, mostly for four hands, and also commissioned transcriptions by trusted friends and colleagues and approved paraphrases of his works by an admired piano virtuoso such as Paul Pabst, both of which genres are represented on this recording.

Goldstone's modesty is disarming, whilst his technique and ear for the poetic phrase and dramatic flourish are almost second to none...the only bad thing about this disc is that it is officially the last one in the series.

Odd that this showpiece [Concert Paraphrase on The Sleeping Beauty] — with its treble filigree like a tinkling icicle — hasn’t been previously recorded...Grainger’s Paraphrase on the Waltz of the Flowers from The Nutcracker is a tremendous evergreen.
