Ernest Ansermet
The premiere took place in the Salle Pleyel, Paris, on 6 December 1929, with the Orchestre symphonique de Paris conducted by Ernest Ansermet (who had founded the orchestra that winter season) and featuring the composer at the piano. The next year, Stravinsky made a commercial recording of the work as soloist, with the Straram Orchestra, conducted by Ernest Ansermet. Beginning in the mind-1930s, Stravinsky's son Soulima often performed it as soloist, most often with his father conducting.
