Ignacy Jan Paderewski (piano) Jan Paderewski enthralled the world with his artistry for more than half a century. Immensely popular as a recitalist (he played in Madison Square Garden to 20,000 people), he came to recording as late as 1911, leaving an important legacy. These recordings, mostly from the 1920s and some unpublished on 78rpm, show Paderewski as a uniquely eloquent interpreter of Beethoven, his compatriot Chopin, Schubert, Mendelssohn, Schumann, Liszt, Wagner, Rachmaninov, Debussy and his own compositions. Whether performing in grand Romantic style, with scintillating virtuosity, or as if confiding intimate secrets, Paderewski possessed what Henry James memorably described as “exhilarating goodness”. “Systematic treatment of Paderewski's large discography is long overdue….it is bound to entice historic piano recording collectors.” Classics Today “The oddities were odd: the out-of-synch hands, the sometimes bemusing understatement. But what artistry and grace… Gorgeous tonal range too (as in Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata) from the ageing master-pianist - surprisingly good sound.” BBC Music Magazine, February 2009 ***** “Despite (and often because of) such old-fashioned devices as the asynchronisation of hands and exaggerated rubato, there is playing of incomparable beauty on these 20 discs; many pianists today could learn much from listening to Paderewski's clarity of line, luminous tone and artful use of the pedals. All in all, much to treasure...” Gramophone Magazine, March 2009 | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |

| |  | Denis Matsuev- Unknown Rachmaninoff
For his fourth album for Sony BMG Russian pianist Denis Matsuev has chosen to record an album of Rachmaninoff’s most virtuosic and dynamic works for piano. The album also contains the world premiere recording of two hitherto unknown pieces by Rachmaninoff, recently rediscovered by the Rachmaninoff Foundation: the Fugue in D minor and the Suite for Orchestra in D minor in a version Rachmaninoff created for piano. The recording itself was made in Rachmaninoff’s summer residence in Switzerland, where he composed many of his major works, using the composer’s own piano. The project was initiated and supported by the Rachmaninoff Foundation and Alexander Rachmaninoff in particular. “At least two outstanding recordings of Rachmaninov's Second Piano Sonata have come my way in recent years (from Yevgeny Sudbin on BIS, and Simon Trpceski on EMI)… Yet Denis Matsuev's performance… is a formidable achievement, demonstrating breathtaking control of the complex polyphonic writing, while negotiating the ebb and flow of the musical argument with great purpose and direction.” BBC Music Magazine, February 2008 ***** “Ever since his triumph in the 1998 Tchaikovsky Competition, Denis Matsuev's name has inspired awe and amazement in musical circles. Here is a virtuosos in the grandest of grand Russian traditions who returns us to the great days of Emil Gilels… this excellently recorded disc presents the most trenchant and commanding Rachmaninov recital I have heard in years.” Gramophone Magazine, March 2008 | | | Usually despatched in 4 - 5 working days. |
