Alexandra Dariescu and the BBC SO recorded the Kashperova Concerto in the studio on April 26, 2022, according to her twitter posting. Hopefully it will air on BBC Radio 3 sometime.
Thanks for the heads up - we'll have to keep a look out for it.
Thank you, indeed. I do hope I get to hear it before long.

Hello - have you heard anything further about this? I see that the pianist has tweeted a bit about it, but no information re release dates etc - https://twitter.com/alexdariescu/status/1518993644463788032 (https://twitter.com/alexdariescu/status/1518993644463788032)
Back on 27 April 2022, the conductor, Chris Hopkins, noted on Twitter that we'd be able to hear the Kashperova concerto "In the autumn [on BBC] Radio 3 I believe, watch this space!" Fingers crossed.
Thanks!
I guess it might be announced on her website too - https://www.alexandradariescu.com (https://www.alexandradariescu.com)
Here's the latest information from Dariescu:
"The world premiere recording of the newly discovered piano concerto by Leokadiya Kashperova, which I made with the BBC Symphony Orchestra & Chris Hopkins will be broadcast on BBC Radio 3's Composer of the Week programme in December '22."
That's good new. I shall look out for it, hope to be able to listen to the broadcast and also hope that someone on this forum may be able to record it as well.
The 5-episode Kashperova "Composer of the Week" broadcasts will be on BBC Radio 3, Dec. 12-16 (see https://boosey.com/cr/news/Leokadiya-Kashperova-is-BBC-Radio-3-Composer-of-the-Week/102071). The episodes on Dec. 13 & 15 mention excerpts from the piano concerto. One hopes that we will get to hear the complete work even if it is divided among two episodes.
Thank you very much for this information. I will certainly try to listen to these programmers. I see that the score is freely available to read online here: https://boosey.com/cr/perusals/score?id=39348 (https://boosey.com/cr/perusals/score?id=39348) courtesy of Boosey & Hawkes.
A recording of the BBC broadcasts of Kashperova's Piano Concerto can be found in our Downloads Board here (https://www.unsungcomposers.com/forum/index.php/topic,9002.0.html).
Thanks, Mark. A real rarity.
Oh, thank you, Mark. ;) I'm looking forward to listening to this.
Yes. A big thank you from me too, Mark.
