Piano Concerto N. In B Flat Minor, O. 3. A. Allegro Non Troppo E Molto Maestoso-Allegro Con Spirito. B1. Andantino -Tempo 1. B2. Allegro Con Fuoco.

Piano Concerto No. 1 in B flat minor, Op. 23. 1. Allegro non troppo e molto maestoso - Allegro con spirito. Shura Cherkassky, Leopold Ludwig, Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra. 1 is with the Berlin Philharmonic under Leopold Ludwig and dates from 1955, while the 2nd Concerto is from 1951 and also with Berlin, but conducted by Richard Kraus. Both Concertos are recorded in mono, with the 1st sounding as good as most early stereo recordings. The 2nd Concerto is a horse of a different color altogether - it is quite possibly the worst follow-up in the history of music  . It is easy to see why all the great pianists record the 1st, yet no one touches the 2nd. At least Cherkassky gave it a try.

The Piano Concerto No. 1 in B♭ minor, Op. 23, was composed by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky between November 1874 and February 1875. It was revised in the summer of 1879 and again in December 1888. The first version received heavy criticism from Nikolai Rubinstein, Tchaikovsky's desired pianist. The first performance of the original version took place on October 25, 1875, in Boston, conducted by Benjamin Johnson Lang and with Bülow as soloist. Bülow had initially engaged a different conductor, but they quarrelled, and Lang was brought in on short notice. According to Alan Walker, the concerto was so popular that Bülow was obliged to repeat the Finale, a fact that Tchaikovsky found astonishing. Although the premiere was a success with the audience, the critics were not so impressed.

Tchaikovsky intended the first performance to be given by Leopold Auer, for whom he had written his Sérénade mélancolique for violin and orchestra, and accordingly dedicated the work to him. Auer refused, however, meaning that the planned premiere for March 1879 had to be cancelled and a new soloist found. 1 in B♭ minor. 2 in G major. 3 in E♭ major.
