Choices
When it comes to contemporary interpretations of these beloved Rachmaninov piano concerti there are options and choices: some will favor the opulently virtuosic jumping off the piano bench, heart on the sleeve, guaranteed standing ovation manner where pianist vies for ...

The Inner Spirit of Rachmaninov
Nikolai Lugansky, once met through recordings or performance, is an electric personality and an exciting, handsome performer. He has the Russian Spirit that enhances the repertoire closest to him and that 'soulful' energy serves him well on this splendid recording of ...

Outstanding performances by one of the great pianists.
Incredible technique and impressive conception is displayed in the performances of these works. Highly recommended.

Harmonia Mundi Fr., 2004
Absolutely essential -Virtousity at its best
Firstly i must say Im not very much fond of a solo piano but the first time i heard Olga Kern's Corelli Variations I immediately went to order this magnificent CD. Olga plays with maturity, virtoussity as if the music was written for her. I usually prefer the piano ...

Lang Lang

Rach On
Firstly, ignore all the reviewers who dumped on Lang Lang because of his age. Might as well say he can't play Rachmaninoff because he's Asian. Sorry, unless you can offer constructive reasons as to why you don't like the CD, please don't bother me with your opinions ...

Save some $ money! Get the newer January 2006 reissue set instead.
At the time of this review, whenever you search for a phrase such as "Rachmaninoff Complete", amazon's search engine always lands on this out-of-print recording (ASIN: B000003FB7) . It's also no fun to see that it costs more than a hundred bucks! But if you type ...

Rachmaninov, Ashkenazy and Previn Again?!
The playing on this CD is worthy of five stars, but Universal gets a one-star demerit for releasing these works too many times. If you want one CD of Ashkenazy & Previn playing a couple of Rachmaninov Piano Concertos, then you buy the Penguin Classics title. If you ...

Satisfying to Have Two Disparate Choral Symphonies on One CD
It is our good fortune that Robert Shaw elected to record John Adam's late 20th century masterpiece 'Harmonium' before he died. And to elect to add to this important performance another work of choral interest from Rachmaninov, 'The Bells', is a nod to his sound ...

Rachmaninov performing his own piano pieces
Not only was Rachmaninov a wonderful composer he was also an amazing pianist. His album A Window in Time: Rachmaninov Performs His Solo Piano Works demonstrates his extraordinary combination of both technical skill and his intensely personal artistry. Rachmaniov is ...

45 years later - and still the very best!
45 years ago my English-born grandfather---a gifted, classically trained pianist and music critic in Ottawa Canada---introduced me to what he claimed was "the best recording of the best piano performance" he'd ever heard. I can still see that black vinyl record with ...

Is individualism in music really that bad?
I bought this disc alongside Yundi Li's Chopin debut album recorded with DG. Frankly, Yundi's debut album was much more easy to the ears than Lang Lang's Tanglewood recital, unless you happen (and rarely) to dislike Chopin. My listening rate of this album to Yundi ...

The best Rachmaninov bargain CD - Chuprik rivals the big boys
Who would have thought that a $2.99 bargain-bin disc from the Amadis label would prove to be one of the best piano recording deals on Amazon? To me, this incredible CD belongs next to the Seraphim label's Brahms/Tchaikovsky VC with Milstein, Tomsic's Scarlatti sonatas ...

Deutsche Grammophon, 2003
Exhilirating Fresh Interpretations from Pletnev et al.
Without question, this CD has to be regarded as among the best recordings of either the Rachmaninov 3rd or Prokofiev 3rd piano concertos ever recorded. Pletnev offers a freshly realized interpretation of Rachmaninov's solo piano score, which is more akin to 20th ...

Hyperion, 2004
An absolute stunner
I've spent years working on these pieces as an amateur. In fact, collecting recordings of these concertos has been one of my greatest enthusiasms. Having heard practically all the commercially available recordings (and some) out there, I can only bow down to Stephen ...

Amazing - Wild is An Underrated Phenomenon
I heard this recording of the Rachmaninoff third last night and was blown away. I had to look up the public radio listing this morning and see who played it, since the announcer raced through his name and all I caught was the name of the conductor. Mind you, I have ...
