The Piano Concerto in D-flat major, Op. 38, was composed in 1936 and was the first work to bring Khachaturian recognition in the West, immediately entering the repertoire of many notable pianists. The Piano Concerto was the first of three concertos Khachaturian wrote for the individual members of a renowned Soviet piano trio (Oborin, Oistrakh, Knushevitsky) that performed together from 1941 until 1963. Lev Oborin gave the premiere in Moscow on 12 July 1937, with the Moscow Philharmonic Orchestra under Lev Steinberg. The concerto was first recorded in 1946, by William Kapell with the Boston Symphony Orchestra under Serge Koussevitzky and became a jukebox favourite, Kapell becoming so associated with the work that he was often called "Khachaturian Kapell".
