Mario RossiAbout
His US debut in 1955, playing Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto No.1, was a triumph. His UK debut in 1959 was met with similar acclaim while his Salzburg Festival debut came in 1969. Emil Gilels is regarded by many as one of the most significant pianists of the twentieth century and is universally admired for his superb technical control and burnished tone. His interpretations of the central German-Austrian classics formed the core of his repertoire, in particular Beethoven, Brahms and Schumann, as well as twentieth-century music like Debussy, Bartók and Prokofiev.
Gilels made two commercial recordings of the Brahms Piano Concerto No.2 in the studio with Fritz Reiner and Eugen Jochum. This live magisterial performance of Brahms’s Piano Concerto No.2 dates from 1971 when Gilels was at his peak, prior to his studio performance with Jochum.
The live recital from 1974 features vibrant performances of Debussy and Prokofiev, all particular favourites of the pianist.
Recorded in brilliant stereo, these WDR-sourced performances have never been released before.
