Description: Of course, all of these have been recorded by Hyperion in their "Romantic Piano Concerto" series and there is one other recording available of each of Nos. 1, 2 and 4 but since this new issue counts as a budget-price one and they are brand-new recordings, we offer it for those interested in comparing and contrasting approaches. 2 CDs for the price of 1. Alexander Markovich (piano), Estonian National Symphony Orchestra; Neeme Järvi.
