Glazunov - Piano Concerto 1 [Kolly/ Griffiths-Slovak Radio Symphony Orchestra]I bought this in a second-hand shop in London for £8 i think, i have the Hyperion disc with Coombs / Brabbins, and that inspired me to pick up this one too, the Glazunov Piano Concertos are very underrated, i guess a cross between Rachmaninov and say Stanford, lovely tunes, and great ideas.
Karl-Anreas Kolly is Swiss, born in 1965, he recorded this disc in 1995, the booklet was one of the extra things that attracted me to this disc, a really colourful painting, but no mention is made of who it's by, or what it's called, i think it's probably of Narcissus in Greek legend, who saw his reflection in a pool and fell in love with it, lovely greens and reds, and the lettering is really clever, almost like calligraphy, nicely done, a good visual product.
