About
The Second Piano Concerto, presented here in its original version, was long known only in the 'Ziloti' Edition of 1897 which drastically abbreviated the work, notably its most original feature: the central Andante calling for three soloists, here played by Boris Berezovsky with Jakub Haufa [violin] and Marcel Markowski [cello]. Both the concerto and the piano pieces that accompany it here illustrate the richness of Tchaikovsky's melodic inspiration, whether it draws on Russian of Ukrainian folk music.

it is the Andante that makes the strongest impression...The finale is taken too fast...Both here and in the first movement, Berezovsky seems to find it all technically too easy and fails - in part by glossing over dynamic marking - to inject much sense of personality into the music.

They are well played, especially the delicious Andante cantabile from the First string Quartet… the lyrical little ‘Chanson triste’, offer more in the way of Tchaikovskian charm.
