Sudbin’s Tchaikovsky Gets Another Distinction
Yevgeny Sudbin’s BIS Records recording of the First Piano Concerto by Tchaikovsky has been selected by Gramophone as one of the Top 50 Greatest Tchaikovsky Recordings.
“Here, amazingly, is one of the most familiar of all concertos rekindled in all its first glory.”
'Sudbin gives us a Tchaikovsky First of spine-tingling brilliance, poetry and vivacity. This is never the Tchaikovsky you have always known, but an arrestingly novel rethink with the concentration on mercurial changes of mood and direction. Here, amazingly, is one of the most familiar of all concertos rekindled in all its first glory, brimming over with zest and shorn of all the clichés that have adhered to it over the years...Not even Cherkassky at his finest possesed a more elfin sense of difference or caprice' - Gramophone
