About This Piece
Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto No. 1 is one of the most beloved works in the classical repertoire, instantly recognizable from its grand opening chords and soaring orchestral theme. Expansive, emotional, and brilliantly theatrical, the concerto moves between thunderous virtuosity and moments of lyric tenderness, giving the soloist and orchestra equal room to shine.
In this live recording from the Charleston Symphony’s 2022–2023 season, guest pianist Olga Kern brings her signature intensity, elegance, and technical brilliance to Tchaikovsky’s monumental score.
