Leif Ove Andsnes pfBerlin Philharmonic Orchestra / Antonio Pappano 'The Second Concerto (live, as opposed to the studio First, but without any appreciable difference in acoustic and balance) is, similarly, given a Rolls-Royce reading with which only the pickiest could find fault. The last movement, though, is something special and the final appeara...
The Philadelphia Orchestra / Yannick Nézet-Séguin DG 'Yannick Nézet-Séguin’s account of the troubled First Symphony is as surprising and as thrilling as any I have heard since that much-lauded Ormandy account. One starts to realise why Glazunov’s reputedly miserable first performance denied it any hope of early success. In the wrong hands the piece...

Moura Lympany pf 'Lympany’s is a unique achievement...From the first notes of the famous Prelude in C sharp minor to the final Prelude of Op 32, you feel in safe hands, knowing that nothing will be exaggerated or sentimentalised, agogics and dynamics faithfully translated, in performances that take no account of the inhibiting power of the red ligh...
Vladimir Ashkenazy pf LSO / André Previn 'What nobility of feeling and what dark regions of the imagination he relishes and explores in page after page of the Third Concerto in particular. Significantly his opening is a very moderate Allegro ma non tanto, later allowing him an expansiveness and imaginative scope hard to find in other more ‘driven’ ...
Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra / Mariss Jansons 'This superlative performance of Rachmaninov’s choral symphony The Bells is one of those stratospherically accomplished, ‘cosmic’ ones that Jansons says he is always trying to attain ...' Read the review
Steven Osborne pf 'This is Osborne’s own conflation of Rachmaninov’s two versions plus some borrowings from Horowitz’s composer-sanctioned version. Osborne justifies it as ‘a natural extension of the interpretative process’. So, does it convince? In a word, yes. What comes across most winningly is the ebb and flow of the work: the more inward passa...
Daniil Trifonov pfPhiladelphia Orchestra / Yannick Nézet-Séguin 'The opening bars tell you this is going to be a good ‘Pag Rhap’. As things turn out, it is a great one, up there with the very best. That includes the indispensable benchmark recording with the composer and the same orchestra made in 1934, just six weeks after they had given the premi...
Boris Giltburg pf 'This, it seems to me, is what makes Giltburg’s readings so refreshing. Without ostentation or fuss, he has examined these scores in every kind of light, lived with them and come up with a vision that, without being wilfully contrarian, is nevertheless something beyond received wisdom. I suspect that before long this vision will p...
MDR Rundfunkchor Leipzig / Risto Joost 'Joost paces the work very well indeed, understanding that there is a dramatic arc which it is imperative to transmit, so that the work is not merely a sequence of isolated events, though there are individual moments that particularly stand out, such as the crescendo of the final section of ‘Svete tikhi’ or th...

The finale for the 3rd is perhaps the greatest in piano concerto history imo. The way Rachmaninoff utilizes counterpoint with the bass, brass and woodwinds is simply genius. His blend of orchestra and piano is why I think he's so much better than Mozart or Beethoven.
