Tchaikovsky – 3rd pianoconcerto

I could only find the concerto by Rimsky-Korsakov

Igor Zhukov is an odd character in that he is both a pianist, a conductor and a recording engineer. There is not much known about his professional life in that last capacity, but he probably used to work for the Russian state label Melodia. He was never credited under his own name though, so it is not easy to find.

As a pianist he was better known, mainly for his recordings of Scriabin. He was also part of a trio with Grigory and Valentin Feigin. I believe I don’t own any other recordings of him, probably because I was disappointed with the sound of this one, recording engineer or not.
