He catapulted to international fame, however, when he was the co-winner of the International Tchaikovsky Competition in 1970. The Concerto No. 2 presented here is a live recording from that competition, dating from 25th June. The audience’s vociferous response at the end speaks for itself. Lill’s expertise in this repertoire stems, in part, from his studies with Wilhelm Kempff. He also studied at the Royal College of Music. Together with the ‘Paganini Variations’ and the Op. 76 Piano Pieces, these represent all the recordings Lill made for Deutsche Grammophon. All receive their first CD and digital release.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0067\/4660\/3571\/files\/REVIEWS_CS_WORLD_7169b53a-dbe6-4c81-930b-be7f7575534e_480x480.png?v=1597936904\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e‘strength, fluency, clarity and musicianly sense of proportion … the engineering is very good’ [Opp. 35 \u0026amp; 76]\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eGramophone, \u003c\/em\u003eNovember 1970\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e‘you are clearly in the presence of a strong and confident artist … This is an exciting record of a great occasion […] and a fine account of the concerto by any standards.’ (Piano Concerto No. 2) \u003cem\u003eGramophone, \u003c\/em\u003eJuly 1971\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0067\/4660\/3571\/files\/TRACK_LISTING_WITH_WORLD_1_4b3088c9-df3c-47ba-bf41-5b7e5d1a8144_480x480.png?v=1597936873\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJOHANNES BRAHMS\u003cbr\u003eCD 1\u003cbr\u003ePiano Concerto No. 2 in B flat major, Op. 83\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCD 2\u003cbr\u003eVariations on a theme by Paganini, Op. 35\u003cbr\u003eKlavierstücke, Op. 76\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJohn Lill,\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003epiano\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUSSR Radio Symphony Orchestra\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGennadi Rozhdestvensky\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Deutsche Grammophon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32379648475223,"sku":"028948228782","price":6.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0067\/4660\/3571\/products\/4822878_Brahms_PianoWorks_Lill_Cover_master-1024x1024.jpg?v=1602518687","url":"https:\/\/classicselectworld.com\/de-de\/products\/brahms-piano-concerto-no-2-paganini-variations-klavierstucke-op-76-john-lill-gennady-rozdhezvensky-ussr-radio-symphony-orchestra-2-cds","provider":"ClassicSelect World","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
