Emil Gilels: Live in Moscow, Vol. 1 See Vol 2 below
VAI DVD 4466, $34.95

Gilels (1916-1985) was one of the 20th century’s foremost pianists. Like many Russian artists of his era, he was virtually unknown in the West until the cultural thaw of the mid-’50s. Though Gilels’ repertoire was far-ranging, the music of the German Romantic era benefited particularly from his burnished tone, strong technique and unfussy yet elegant musicianship. The 1983 recital preserved on this DVD is devoted to the music of Schumann, Brahms, and Mendelssohn, including Brahms’s Paganini Variations (Book I) and Schumann’s Symphonic Etudes. 93 minutes, Color, All regions.

Emil Gilels: Live in Moscow, Vol. 2
VAI DVD 4467, $34.95

Gilels was a superb Mozartian. His playing is stylistically scrupulous, infused with lyricism while maintaining keen attention to detail. This all-Mozart program includes two performances of the composer’s final piano concerto, the Concerto No. 27 in B-flat; seldom has the slow movement been so ravishingly presented. For the Concerto for Two Pianos in E-Flat, Gilels is joined by his daughter Elena, with whom he often performed. Concerts are from 1979 and 1983, with The USSR State Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Vyacheslav Ovchinnikov. 98 minutes, Color, All regions.
