Beautifully delineated lyrical playing by LB. I would not be disappointed had Scriabin continued to compose in this style. A balm to my nervous system.
Glad you liked it. The great collector Ernst Lumpe recorded the broadcast and sent me a copy. Later we heard that Lazar Berman himself wanted to hear the recording. I have a letter from Berman thanking for sending the cd-r. ”Thank you for remembering me” were his last touching words in that letter. A year later he passed away.
This is the best performance of Scriabin,s piano concerto.I have listened Lazar Berman in 70-80 years.Rashmaninov the second piano concerto.Bethoven,Brams,List also.
Berman was indeed an incredible pianist. This piece is not performed often enough in my opinion. This recording may have been unissued, but I think you'd be hard-pressed to find a better one. So glad we can hear it now!
Berman The second-hardest hitter of The piano! Mikhail Pletnev The hardest hitter of The keyboard ( Prokoviev piano concerto no 1) Berman was The over-rated! The greatest pianists of All Time Are really Artur Rubinstein Grigory Sokolov Emil Gilels Radu Lupu Mikhail Pletnev Sviatoslav Richter Maurizio Pollini Vladimir Ashkenazy Alexei Lubimov Stanislav Igolinsky Solomon Cutner Maria Grinberg Natalia Trull

An intensely lyrical and majestic performance of a concerto Berman never commercially recorded.
All of my subscribers owe you a deep bow of gratitude for sending me this recording so that I could upload it - I am very thankful for this!
👏👏👏
@@ThePianoFiles My pleasure. It's so great to hear it continuously instead of cut up into sections.

Beautiful, expansive performance.

Wow, what a lovely testimonial - thank you for sharing it!
Wonderful

How can you write ...even legendary pianists .... In my book Berman is a legend.
Love you, Piano Files
Oh, dear, this is absolutely one of the most beautiful performances of this magnificent concerto that I have ever heard! Heaven on earth!

Thank you for uploading this gem!
Magnificent, indeed is the best interpretation of this concerto, also with an excellent support from the orchestra and conductor.
We lost this great pianist much too soon.
The second movement is marvellous.
Very underrated pianist .

I just dicovered lazar Berman's rendition of this work-my favourite.Unlike other versions,the piano sounds ABOVE the orchestra.
