¡Tchaikovsky: Symphony No. 4 & 6 / Edward Langer
¡Michael Nanasakov
Description
[Machine Translation] E. Langer was invited by Nikolai Rubinshtein as a professor of piano at the Moscow Conservatory when it was established, and he arranged many of Tchaikovsky's works for piano. Since piano arrangements of symphonies were included in the contract with the publisher, there is a 4-hand version by Tchaikovsky himself, but Langer's version is an 8-hand version (with two sets of four hands) that allows more notes from the orchestral score to be picked up. For the recording of this disc, the two sets of four hands were rewritten into a new piano score with four sets of four vertical lines to make it easier to read. The recording by Nanasakov was made live in a concert hall after a long period of trial and error using a computer and an automatic piano. The two symphonies were combined on a single CD as a result of the belief that a faster tempo setting for the piano arrangement of the symphonies would be more effective than a well-considered and appropriate tempo setting for the sustained sound of the orchestral instruments.
