Wow, that name brings back fond memories of an old American Decca LP (DL-710100), which included a Bortkievich Piano Concerto with soloist Marjorie Mitchell and William Strickland conducting the Vienna State Opera Orchestra. On the flip side (as we used to say in ancient times) was Busoni's "Indian Fantasy." That was an ear-opening release, introducing me to the name of Sergei Bortkievich (or Bortkiewicz)-- a splendid concerto, very romantic with lush strings and soaring melodies. I'll be looking for the new CD to appear. Evidently, Bortkievich wrote at least three piano concertos. Richard Veit
