New Classical Tracks: Stephen Hough and Tchaikovsky -- Live, Electrifying, and a Revelation
Stephen Hough admits there was an element of fear in his latest recording project. The British pianist joined conductor Osmo Vanska and the Minnesota Orchestra to record Tchaikovsky's complete works for piano and orchestra--live in concert. But the risk paid off, and produced a two CD set of the composers best-known and least-known works -- performed by the electrifying Mr. Hough with one of the finest orchestras in the world today at the top of its game.
