About

Rachmaninov’s Second Piano Sonata was extensively revised by the composer in 1931, and the revised version is tighter and leaner in texture (the Fourth Piano Concerto is a fine example the more restrained and less opulent textures the composer developed in his later years) than the original version of 1913.

It represents a supreme challenge to the pianist in either version, and has all the hallmarks of the composer at the height of his powers – he had just finished his huge choral symphony ‘The Bells’ at the same time.

The 6 Moments musicaux, op.16, are early works which exhibit the flamboyance of the youthful virtuoso. Sonya Bach includes three of the Preludes from the Op.23 set.
