Description:

Lev Oborins Legendary Japanese Recordings, Released on CD for the First Time with Detailed Information!From the Producer (Naoya Hirabayashi)In the fall of 1956, Lev Oborin visited Japan for the first time from the former Soviet Union and held studio sessions between his nationwide concert tour. This LP was first released in 1956, with only the Mussorgsky tracks reissued in 1959; it has not been available since. Furthermore, while the recording details were previously unknown, we have now obtained detailed records (dates, engineer names, equipment used, piano model, etc.) and have reissued the album in its complete form.Although Obolin is often perceived primarily as an accompanist, his orthodox and rich musicality is highly regarded by discerning piano enthusiasts. As one would expect, his title as the winner of the First Chopin Competition is no mere formality.No master or duplicate tapes
