Invidiosulus Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 NEW! FIRST TIME EVER! First recording ever made in Russia by American technical and musical staff and equipment. Recorded by Mercury on Location in Moscow, June, 1962. BYRON JANIS Prokofiev-Piano Concerto NO.3 and Rachmaninoff-Piano Concerto NO.1 Kyril Kondrashin - Moscow Philharmonic Orchestra. I picked up a copy of this the other night on LP. It's a Mercury Living presence 35mm magnetic film recording. It sounds amazing, Byron Janis piano work is outstandingly full of energy yet articulate and delicate where need be. The recording of the piano is nice and close and very full sounding. I'm quite happy I picked this up[] -Josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheEvan Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 I've got a copy. Nice recording & performance. Typical in-your-face Mercury sound but with good tonality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
