Sergei Rachmaninov was a Russian composer, pianist, and conductor renowned for his emotive and virtuosic music. His works, characterized by lush harmonies and sweeping melodies, include the iconic Piano Concerto no.2 and the hauntingly beautiful Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini. Despite facing personal and political upheavals, including emigration after the Russian Revolution, Rachmaninov's music maintained its deeply expressive and romantic style. His legacy endures through his recordings and compositions, which continue to captivate audiences worldwide. Rachmaninov's artistry embodies the pinnacle of late Romanticism, blending technical brilliance with profound emotional depth. The artists performing on this vinyl compilation, including Hélène Grimaud, Nikolai Lugansky, Leif Ove Andsnes and André Previn, are amongst the most inspired for this repertoire.
