High Fidelity Magazine: 'The greatest piano performance of the Pictures I have ever heard, on records or off.' ClassicsToday.com 10/4. Gramophone Magazine suggests not listening to Mussorgsky first, since the sound quality is low. The performances are superb.

I love Rachmaninoff, especially these piano concertos, and Ashkenazy and Previn provide us with masterful performances. You really need to compare other performances of these concertos to know just how good these are. The beauty of these performances is that everything comes together with such refinement. Previn exhibits a great understanding of these pieces and the LSO responds well (as usual). Ashkenazy is precise and yet expressive at the same time. He articulates each note so clearly. But more than this, Previn and Ashkenazy are magically attuned to each other. The music flows with a perfect balance between piano and orchestra.
These analog recordings from Decca are excellently engineered. The dynamic range is exceptional with a wide soundstage. As with other London/Decca and DG recordings, the midrange brass has a slight edge to it. Also, Ashkenazy is close miked, so his piano extends across 60% of the soundstage, which is not exactly realistic. However, these are minor quibbles that do not detract from a masterful performance and an otherwise expansive, crisp recording.
There is no reason to restrict oneself to a single performance of these marvelous concertos. But, if ever I had to restore my collection, I would purchase this set first.

柴科夫斯基一共有三首钢琴协奏曲，当然就是属第一号最有名了。在这首钢琴中，作者深深情地、热情洋溢地表达了对生活的热爱与对光明的渴望，钢琴与乐队的协奏成功地实现习了真挚的感情抒发与强烈的、激动人心的交响化效果的高度和谐与协调，从而使产生极其巨大的音乐感染力。

1963年由卡拉杨指挥维也维交响乐团、闻名世界、脾气怪异的前苏联钢琴大师演奏钢琴的"大禾花"版被众多乐评称为无出其右。李希特＋卡拉扬＋维也纳爱乐，这样的组合，精彩绝对可期。

而拉赫玛尼诺夫的第二钢琴协奏曲，可以算是20世纪音乐家创作的钢琴协奏曲中最受欢迎的。这一乐曲被公认为拉赫玛尼诺夫的“最高杰作”，广受世人的喜爱和欢迎。在所有俄罗斯作曲家所作的钢琴协奏曲中，本曲为首屈一指的名作。

里赫特的这一版本充满梦幻色彩，可以说是最接近拉氏原意的演绎，当然成为“拉二”的首选版本！
