Martha Argerich, Tamas Vasary, Charles Dutoit - Tchaikovsky: Piano Concerto No.1 / Stravinsky: Petrouchka (1970, 1976) [2019 SACD Vintage Collection]

Coupling the magnificent Tchaikovsky, the first memorable Argerich, and Petrushka of Dutoit, a famous recording.
The first recording of Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 1, which can be said to be synonymous with Argerich, and the 1976 recording of Dutoit's "Petrushka", which was the conductor at that time, were released as the first coupling board. Both songs are sound sources that will be the world's first SA-CD. Argerich's Tchaikovsky is most famous for the 1980 live Kondrashin board for later PHILIPS, but this 1970 board, which is the first recording for DG, is also famous as a masterpiece that shows her greatness. While Tchaikovsky's recordings after this are basically live, this recording was recorded in a session, so although the burning passion is slightly thinner than the later board, there is also a carefully calculated composition. This performance, which seeks perfection technically, is very well-balanced and convincing. Despite being 28 years old at the time of recording, it is a performance with the best balance of knowledge and emotion, and this masterpiece, which can be said to be the origin of her song, can also be said to be a masterpiece that will remain in posterity. Along with the series of intensity, the sometimes sentimental expression is still alive in this performance, so it is full of listening.
