Whether Tchaikovsky gave his consent to the virtuoso Alexander Ziloti to revise his Piano Concerto no.1 is unknown, but Wang here presents the lesser-recorded original version. Piano Concerto no.3 was originally begun as a symphony, all of which except the first movement was ultimately abandoned; that surviving movement was later completed as a single-movement concert work for piano and orchestra.
Scriabin finished his Piano Concerto in only a few days, although it took months to orchestrate it before the 1897 premiere. Sensitively played by Wang, the concerto shows a naïve charm that even Scriabin, at his most translucent, would struggle to recapture once his career got underway.
