I have a few questions regarding Anatoly Alexandrov's piano concerto.
The LP recorded by Victor Bunin lists the work as Concerto-Symphony, Opus 102. The Opus 102 slot is also filled by the Little Suite No. 3. The scan of the two piano score that is currently circulating (Muzika, 1976) was published as Opus 101 with the tile Concerto for Piano and Orchestra and contains the movement omitted from the Bunin recording. Was the score republished omitting the second movement? If so, was it re-titled Concerto-Symphony? As opus 102?
Was the second movement withdrawn solely from Victor Bunin's LP recording or did the composer remove it from the work permanently? Has the recording ever surfaced?

Thank you, musiclife217 for taking the time to find this piece for all of us.
This delightful, if somewhat neglected piece, is completely spoilt for me by what seems to me a terrible discord in bar 8 (the top note of the first chord in the left hand).
I have included as an attachment the first 8 bars. The mp3 can be found at muzofon.com.
Would anyone like to suggest how it can be changed? As far as I am concerned, the double f# is a printing error, although I note that it is played in Stephen Coomb's mp3.

It looks correct to me. Look at the voice leading in the chords ... then the progression makes sense.
There are surprisingly few errors in Belaieff scores compared, say, with contemporary ones published by Jurgenson. They had a hot editorial team.

Do any other recordings exist?
Many thanks.
I wrote to Viktor Bunin about this, and he replied ... I will look for his email.

Agreed! (The f double-sharp leading to the g sharp of the right hand in bar 9.)
