Emil Gilels: The Giant
(more) »rank: 337847from: RCA
: :Gilels is captured in full flight in these Moscow concert performances between 1965 and 1984.

Not surprisingly, many of the pieces are dances; others are consort pieces; still others are arrangements of popular songs of the day. The seven members of the Parley of Instruments--which in this case includes violins, violas, ...
