If you missed the first volume (ÉLAN 82244) containing the Preludes Op. 32 and Sonata No. 1, pick it up together with the latest installment. Both offer Rachmaninov playing on the very highest level.” American Record Guide “This is some Rachmaninov playing! Santiago Rodriguez is the real thing.

“This coupling offers performances of two works which, if not masterpieces, are still sufficiently rewarding to be in the regular concert repertory.
Ashkenazy creates an evocative opening atmosphere for the first movement of the Kabalevsky, when after mysterious string pizzicatos the soloist steals in with a gentle, singing tone. The soliloquy continues, for the work's unusual structure, with its three unbroken sections linked by cadenzas, invites an improvisational approach well understood by Mats Lidström.
The Khachaturian Concerto opens with a flamboyantly coloured orchestral declamation before the cello sails off with vigorous animation.
This is followed by a sinuous Armenian theme from the wind which the cello takes up ruminatively, with well-judged espressivo. Yet it's the energetic main theme that dominates and the soloist is carried along on its impetus, while ardently recalling the secondary material, finally leading to an exciting sequential coda. The finale offers the busy, rumbustious Khachaturian we know so well from the Violin Concerto. This composer's major works (with the exception of the Violin Concerto) can seem rather inflated, but here the combined concentration of Lidström and Ashkenazy minimises this impression. As an encore we're given a beautiful, restrained account of Rachmaninov's Vocalise. The recording is of high quality and well balanced, but a shade over-resonant, though the ear adjusts.” Gramophone Classical Music Guide, 2010 | | | (also available to download from $10.50) | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days.
