RACHMANINOV: CONCERTO NO.2/RHAPSODY ON A THEME OF PAGANINI


This is one of the finest performance and recording of these pieces available. Gary Graffman shows his brilliant talent in these interpretations of Rachmaninoff. Far too many think that speed is critical in performing specific passages when in fact patience is required. One may have the skill to play all the notes but lack the talent to perform the music. Graffman performs with nuance and subtlety as well as skill and decision in bringing the souls of these pieces to life. Highly recommended. (You'll throw your other recordings away after hearing this!)--Rob Smout
