About

Vassily Sapellnikoff (1868 – 1941) and Xaver Scharwenka (1850 – 1924) were among the earliest generation of pianists to record, and on this ground alone it is surprising that their complete recordings have never before been transferred to CD.

Not only do they give us a fascinating insight into nineteenth-century pianism, but in the Tchaikovsky Concerto (the premiere recording of the work) we have the pianist who, after his 1888 Hamburg performance under the composer’s baton, went on to become Tchaikovsky’s favoured soloist, witnessed in many subsequent performances they gave together.
