Anton Rubinstein - Kонцерт N4 для фортепиано с оркестром Piano Concerto No4

Review by Jos Poortvliet

The album Kонцерт N4 для фортепиано с оркестром Piano Concerto No4 by Anton Rubinstein is a masterpiece that showcases the talent of the composer as well as the performer. The album features a stunning performance by pianist Boris Berezovsky and the Ural Philharmonic Orchestra under the direction of conductor Dimitry Liss.

One of the standout features of the album is the technical brilliance of Berezovsky's playing, which is both precise and expressive. He brings a sense of drama and emotion to Rubinstein's music, which is both powerful and delicate. The Ural Philharmonic Orchestra also deserves praise for their excellent performance, providing a rich and full-bodied sound that perfectly complements Berezovsky's playing.

The album features three movements, each of which is a showcase for Rubinstein's compositional skill. The first movement is lively and energetic, with a sense of urgency that propels the music forward. The second movement is more introspective, with a haunting melody that is both beautiful and melancholy. The third movement is a tour-de-force, featuring a dazzling display of technical virtuosity from both Berezovsky and the orchestra.
