About
Initially, she specialised in major works of the romantic and Russian repertoire and made the first complete recording of the Rachmaninov preludes (for Decca) in the 1940s. She also gave the western premiere of the Khachaturian piano concerto and subsequently recorded it - along with the Rachmaninov 2nd and 3rd concertos it become one of her signature works.
The HMV recordings presented here, made before she returned to recording for Decca again in the later 1950s, emphasize her virtuoso credentials and feature many of the piano’s most fearsome warhorses. This is repertoire she excelled in and her performances of, for example, Feux follets, or the toccatas of Ravel and Prokofiev, have rarely been equalled.
