Sergei Rachmaninov (piano) This third volume of Rachmaninov’s Victor recordings contains discs he made of his own solo compositions and arrangements from the introduction of electrical recording in 1925 to a year before his death. The works recorded were those most in demand by the public, each piece subject to Rachmaninov’s perfectionism and the version released always the best of a number of takes (for example, the recording of his famous Prelude in C sharp minor is Take 23). Whether it be in the 1925 recording of his transcription of Kreisler’s Liebesfreud or the February 1942 recording of the same work (in which he displays a cast iron technique only a year before his death), the sheer virtuosity, utter clarity and supreme musicianship of Rachmaninov’s playing style are undiminished. The first two releases in this series have been acclaimed for their superb remastering. Ward Marston, producer and audio restoration engineer “Wonders galore in Rachmaninov's playing, beyond its obvious historical importance. Cast-iron technique, proper old-school sense of line and tone colour, and an incomparable rubato.” BBC Music Magazine, May 2013 ***** “No composer or pianist has ever sounded more indelibly Russian, and never more so than in his own music...What clear relish and delight in the playful rather than melancholic capers of the Polka, what vitality and aplomb in the festive E major Prelude...this, the thrid volume of Naxos's 'Great Pianists' Rachmaninov, gives us playing beyond price.” Gramophone Magazine, January 2013 | | | (also available to download from $9.00) | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

Works transcribed by Ferruccio Busoni, except where stated.
On his new CD, Bernd Glemser presents not only some of the most famous Bach arrangements by Ferruccio Busoni (the recording begins with the Chaconne in D Minor, which can practically be called a standard work of the virtuoso piano repertoire), but also seldom heard pieces by Sergei Rachmaninoff, Myra Hess and Wilhelm Kempff. “There’s a well structured Busoni Chaconne, the gentler Wilhelm Kempff Siciliano, Myra Hess’s ‘Jesu Joy’
and, less often heard, ‘Nun, freut ich…’ receives a dazzling Gould-like performance. Admirable touch,
ornamentation and voicing” Hi-Fi News, June 2008 | | | (also available to download from $10.50) | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. (Available now to download.) |
