Sergei Rachmaninov (piano)About
Having covered Rachmaninov’s Victor recordings in the first three volumes of these solo piano recordings, volume 4 brings us to his earliest work for Thomas Edison way back in 1919-20. These acoustic tracks are notorious for their surface noise, a side-effect of Edison’s own inventive but ultimately limited recording technique. Ward Marston’s expert re-mastering reveals more of Rachmaninov’s musicianship than any other set of transfers to date, and as a result will be of great value to collectors.
Previous releases in this historical edition have received universal praise. Volume 1 (8112020) was considered “a superb first volume in what promises to be an invaluable series” by Gramophone. Volume 2 (8112058) is “an amazing tribute to a towering talent as well as a wonderful job performed by Ward Marston as audio restoration engineer” according to MusicWeb International, and Classical Recordings Quarterly also admired Volume 3 (8111397): “Not only does this disc present one of the summits of pianism on record; but the transfers are excellent,” the same volume summed up by Gramophone as “playing beyond price.”
