About

Any Emil Gilels recital is an eagerly awaited event for collectors. His live recital of Bach, Prokofiev, Scarlatti, Schumann and Tchaikovsky on BBC Legends (BBCL40152) has been a best-seller since its release in 1999.

Gilels first performed Beethoven’s Piano Sonata No.3, Op.10 as late as 1979 during a US tour which included the ‘Eroica Variations’, Op.35. Both were recorded in the studio but these live performances have a special atmosphere, Gilels having the uncanny ability to hold the audience’s attention throughout.

Although he played three pieces by Ravel at this Cheltenham recital, the ‘Pavane pour une infante défunte’ had to be removed due to time constraints. All the French titles are played stunningly, ending as an encore with the delightful ‘Pastorelle’ by Poulenc.

Recorded: The Town Hall, Cheltenham, 20 November 1980.
