Digital Booklet

"... sound (is) quite lifelike, detailed and dynamically varied ... (captures) Byron Janis at the peak of his artistry ... Kondrashin's pointed, alert podium support proves a key asset ... if any disc can bring audiophiles and pianophiles together, this is it."

The majority of this album was recorded by American personnel on location in Moscow in 1962, starring pianist Byron Janis backed by the Moscow Philharmonic Orchestra under Kirill Kondrashin. Together, they perform piano concertos by both Prokofiev and Rachmaninov, while Janis completes the programme with solo works by Prokofiev, Schumann, Mendelssohn and Pinto.
