(1 out of 5 stars)

"I agree with Mr. Rileigh's Review. Unlike Praga's modern issues, the sound here is pretty dated, in mediocre-to-poor transfers.

The Variations on a Nursery Song (22'59") and the Konzertstuck for Cello (22'20") were recorded in 1956 and are in stereo. The recording date of the Piano Concerto No. 2 (27'22") is unspecified, and it sounds mono-ish, with background noises like in 78s or LPs.

The performances with piano are "authentic" - the composer plays in both. I prefer the Variations with Earl Wild and the composer's son, Christoph von Dohnanyi, conducting the New Philharmonia on Chesky CD13 (Tchaikovsky: Piano Concerto No. 1): better pianism, better conducting and definitely better sound (RBCD only).

The Konzertstuck is very nicely played by Starker and Susskind conducting the Philharmonia, though the orchestra sounds pretty shrill.
