About "Piano Concerto No. 1 in B-Flat Minor, Op. 23 : Tchaikovsky: Piano Concerto No. 1 in B-Flat Minor, Op. 23: Piotr Ilyitch TCHAIKOVSKI : Concerto pour piano n° 1 (extrait) (Excerpt)" by Lazar Berman
Berman attacks Tchaikovsky’s opening like a storm breaking over a cliff—grand chords, then a sweeping, romantic melody that aches with longing. The excerpt captures the concerto’s dual nature: heroic bravado and a tender, almost private melancholy. It is a collision of thunder and tears.
