) | Label: Tahra Catalog: TAH 741 Format: CD Walter Gieseking (piano), Emil Gilels (piano), Orchestre National de France, André CluytensKeyboard Sonatas Tahra's compilation L'Art d'André Cluytens presents three previously unreleased live recordings by the great Franco-Belgian conductor dating from the late 1950s and all featuring the Orchestre National de France. Works for piano and orchestra dominate the program. Emil Gilels is the soloist in Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No.1 and Walter Gieseking takes the lead in Franck's Symphonic Variations. The disc concludes with a wonderfully atmospheric reading of Debussy's three Nocturnes. Taken together, these recordings offer a warm homage to one of the last century's finest conductors.
