About
However, he soon had higher ambitions in mind, emulating Chopin and (before him) Bach by composing the sequence of Op.23 Preludes in the early years of the 20th century, and following it with two sonatas which demanded the prodigious technique that almost he alone of contemporary performers could marshal. The Op.32 Preludes date from a Schumannesque 18-day burst of creativity, but they distil Rachmaninov’s pianistic imagination at its most diverse, completing the cycle. His compositional voice is darker and still more introspective in the sequences of Études-Tableaux, which forsake the free and lyrical vein of his earlier music for a disciplined austerity that would reach a climax in his large-scale Symphonic Dances and The Bells, though finding a more fantastical outlet in the Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini.
Thus the set presents a guide to the life and the voice of one of Russia’s most dominant and individual musical voices. Compiled from recordings made during the last ten years, it features young artists such as Lukas Geniušas and Zlata Chochieva who have gone on to achieve deserved fame as mature artists. There are also recordings by more experienced artists such as Nils Franke and the duo of Ingryd Thorson and Julian Thurber. Among the most complete of all the ‘complete’ solo piano sets on the market, Brilliant’s box is, as ever, a bargain second to none.
