He was the first Russian composer whose music would make a lasting impression internationally. He was honored in 1884 by Tsar Alexander III and awarded a lifetime pension. 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. Rubinstein later repudiated his previous accusations and became a fervent champion of the work. It is one of the most popular of Tchaikovsky's compositions and among the best known of all piano concertos. The concerto follows the traditional form of three movements: 1. Allegro non troppo e molto maestoso – Allegro con spirito (B♭ minor – B♭ major) 2. Andantino semplice – Prestissimo – Tempo I (D♭ major) 3. Allegro con fuoco – Molto meno mosso – Allegro vivo (B♭ minor – B♭ major) Performers: Martha Argerich (Piano) Symphoniker Hamburg Charles Dutoit (Conductor)
