TIME put him on their cover, proclaiming him as "The Texan Who Conquered Russia." RCA signed him to an exclusive contract, and his subsequent recording of Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 1, became the first classical album to sell a million copies.

 Tchaikovsky Fails to Showcase World's Finest
Balanced against the generally good results in violin and cello was the outcome of the contest that lies at the heart of the Tchaikovsky Competition, the one for piano.
The impression left Sunday by first-prize laureate Japan's Ayako Uehara, 21, was thoroughly depressing -- a loud, mechanical account of the first movement of Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 1, made all the worse by the over-bright sounds of her Yamaha piano and, though not her fault, the ham-handed accompaniment of the Russian Symphony Orchestra.
Bron sat on this year's violin jury and there provided some of the competition's most memorable moments, as he was seen, with head and hands in constant motion, throwing cues to his pupils on stage -- who, apart from Kawakubo, placed fifth and shared sixth place.

Even for those of us with a great love of piano music, it is taxing to listen to seven hours of playing on the same day, and the competition had four such days almost consecutively.
After a bit of practicing on one of the pianos that had been moved into the Waits dorm rooms for the duration of the competition, I was off to the welcome party at the Railhead Smokehouse.
The playing, as far as I could judge, was quite good, but the questionable choice of repertoire made for queasy listening.

Well, that is exactly what happened to Van Cliburn, the tall Texan, when he won the First (ever) Tchaikovsky Piano Competition in Moscow in 1958.
While a pianist can be introspective and possess a technique superior to the other competitors, if he/she cannot co-ordinate with an orchestra or chamber ensemble then he/she will never make it as a concert pianist.

A landmark CD, Nathaniel Rosen's concerto-recording debut combines all of Tchaikovsky's works for cello and orchestra with a blazing, idiomatic performance of Shostakovich's first cello concerto.
Both the soloist's and orchestra's sound are beautifully engineered and make (especially the Variations) a musical feast for the ears.
Rosen's playing is gutsy and brilliant in all of these pieces, equal to [Yo-Yo] Ma's in the famous Tchaikovsky Variations and superior to his in the great Shostakovich concerto.
