¡Rachmaninoff Plays Rachmaninoff - Solo Works
¡Sergei Rachmaninoff (piano)
Description
[Machine Translation] Sergei Rachmaninoff, the greatest Russian composer of the 20th century, was also a virtuoso piano player (and an excellent conductor) who was not afraid of extreme technicalities. He began recording in 1919, the year he left Russia for the United States to escape the difficulties of the Revolution, and continued uninterruptedly until 1942, the year before his death, leaving behind 10 CDs of recordings for posterity. The recordings here include his own compositions recorded electrically (i.e., with a microphone; from 1925 onward) and arrangements called piano transcriptions. The overwhelming performance produced by his huge body is full of power and delicacy at the same time, and extends Rachmaninoff's ideal of his own compositions. Recordings: March 18, 1940, April 9, 1940, December 16, 1925, etc.
