It would be interesting to hear the Rachmaninoff’s own take on the Second Symphony. Unfortunately he did not leave this recording. As a conductor, Rachmaninoff recorded only Third Symphony, Isle of the Dead, and Vocalise.The Cat...

Ok, who do not play Rachmaninoff toady? I kind of dived today into the Rachmaninoff’s liturgy and even went so far as span an album of Nina Koshetz songs… :-) BTW, for the East Coast falks if you are interested:

Yesterday the WHRB broadcasted the Rachmaninoff’ conducting from 30s and 40s and they end up the programs with the celebrated 1939 Ormandy/Philadelphia performances of Rachmaninoff’ Third Concerto As many times I heard Rachmaninoff’ played the peace ...

I just returned home from an evening of Russian music in Seattle - Pletnev and RNO performing Rachmaninoff and Tchaikovsky. The program began with Rachmaninoff Vocalise, then Piano Concerto #3 (Alexander Mogilevsky on piano) and ...

PCA LM 2355 (2-channel mono)I don't listen to a lot of Rachmaninoff, buut I would if more of it was done like this.Here is a young Van Cliburn, just back from his USSR tour, playing at Carnigie hall with Kiril Kondrashin directing the Symphony o...

[quote user="Antonio J."]Would you recommend some of their works different than the most popular ones? Also knowing which is your favourite rendition of the Rachma's 3rd piano concerto would be interesting ;-)[/quote]Without any particular order:

Zenph released their new album: Re-performance of Rachmaninoff

Sure I bought it was listing it yesterday. What can I say – yes it is a very good piano but it very poor played piano. The play is b...

Ok, I got it yesterday and I really do not like it. I do not know where to start - it is so much off what where Rachmaninoff left it – it just a very different amplitude of talent. With Rachmaninoff each note has beauty, balance, reference to the who...

I did not know that Rachmaninoff had such a great sense of humor and such great send of … justness. Well judge yourself. Here is the WGBH's Ron Della Chiesa’s introduction to today’s Rachmaninoff concert.http://www.mediafire.com/?1xtgs3mzztu(a ...

I do not do the idiotic quizzes “who is the best” and who would be the top 5 or 10 in some bogus lists but a few days ago I did asked myself who is among 20 century composers I feel was the most interesting and the most appreciated by me. While...

There is a lot that might say about the subject but I won’t. Returning today after the performance of Vladimir Spivakov’s new orchestra: National Philharmonic of Russia and Olga Kern as piano player I will say very short:
Today is March 16 and...

Well, Jerry, I can pitch you some CDs. They would be from US resellers but I am sure you can found your local UK equivalent. Be advised that I have none of the Gieseking’s CD only LPs, so I have no idea how good sound transfer was made to CD. G...

Wow, two concerts on a row and both are phenomenal. On Friday
NY Philharmonic showed off some very serious Bruckner and last night Boston Philharmonic
delivered an absolute thrill with Rachmaninoff second symphony. The first part
they did Mozart's...

I would like to follow up with my initial post. The last nigh I went to NY’s Avery Fisher Hall in Lincoln Center to hear the Spivakov NPoR. I have great sit (Orchestra RowM, center, 3 sits on the left – perfect for piano concertos). Funny: ahead of m...

Following the recent thread about the Prokoviev’s “Hale to Stalin” I would like to pitch to the choral music lovers one more name. Russian Orthodox liturgy mostly sucks. There was a dozen of Russkis composers who composed Russian chants: Totov, Grech...

Too hot to expect the best sound today, and besides I have gotten my morbid curiousity worked up about the recording/playback curves, so I fished out a few LPs mostly to hear/see how they sound with respect to the "shape" of their sound, aspects of w...

Richter and Karajan playing the Tchaikovsky PC1 are well celebrated performance. Some years back I had a fool fixation to get one moment from that play to sound in a certain way – I have perhaps 15 different pressings of the thing. Unfortunately I a...

A ‘solution” was brewing in my mind: that “they” need would be moves. I think the cinematographers and are classical music promoters are loosing whole point in here. Classical music propagandists keep bitching that the classical music is loosing mark...

I very recently after a long hard search was able to acquire the set The Romantic Rachmaninoff 1s pressings on Readers Digest which includes the complete piano concertos The Isle of The Dead and other selections. He plays with the Royal Philharmonic ...

If you followed, a few days ago in the conversation with “Michaelz” I was spinning my usual plot, bitching that most of the today’s pianists play, unintelligent as senseless, almost like with the "rubber fingers”:
