These five recitals have been listed in the discography as PTA (which I have not heard) so nothing new, but maybe the official release offers better sound, as it uese Netherlands Radio’s archive tape as the source.
My copies of these all sound pretty great, so I doubt the sound will improve much. Good concerts though. Gilels was starting to getting slower, but he still had it.
If anyone wants these, let me know and I’ll dig 'em up and post them.
I wish I knew you were interested. I had a recital with him playing obscure Russian repertoire which I actually deleted a few months ago (the backlog is too big…).
I can ask for a new copy if you like? It was a friend’s audience tape from 5-6 years back. I don’t remember the program, but it was lots of little Russian pieces - probably Liadov Preludes, Rebikov and similar.
