¡Rachmaninoff Symphonie No. 2 Piano 4 Hands Arranged By Wilschau
¡Michael Nanasakov
Description
[Machine Translation] The dark, masculine music evoking the grandeur of the Russian land, the long-lasting lyrical and romantic melodic beauty characteristic of Rachmaninoff, and the magnificent orchestration, all in a "piano version" are all very well known to anyone who has ever heard Rachmaninoff's music. Although it is obvious to anyone that this would be a crazy idea, the contract between the composer and the publisher often included a "piano version of the score". In an age when it was not easy to listen to orchestral performances, and since piano scores sell better than full scores, they were also enjoyed at home, which means that the level of listeners (players) must have been high. As for Rachmaninoff's Symphony No. 2, the composer himself did not leave a piano version, and this recording was arranged by Wladimir Wilschau (1868-1957) for four hands in 1910, three years after the composition. The symphonic poem "Isle of Death" was recorded in 79 minutes and 59 seconds, just short of the CD recording time limit, in order to make the complete work without cuts or repetitions, just like the Second Symphony. Michael Nanasakov has been recording since 1991 using a computer and an automatic piano. There are many interesting pieces that pianists do not usually include in their repertoire. This CD is the 21st in a series of recordings that shed light on works that may be difficult to perform or may not be appreciated as much as the effort required to perform them.
