Music reviews of Favourite Rachmaninov

Music Review: Moving and Inspiring, A must Buy!
Rating: 5 Stars

It has occured to me that many of the reviewers complain about the slow tempo taken by Ashkenazy when he performed the Rach's 3rd. Indeed, they do seem slower than the norm, but when it is slowed down, much more can be brought into the piece that you wouldn't normally hear such as the increadiable dymanic range, artulation and the sheer power of some of his chords. The cadanza (the harder version) of the first movement is especially moving (many pianists also slow down to his tempo or even slower when attempting the candanza). Ashkenazy kept a steady cresendo throughout and truely produced some very breathtaking chords (way better than David Heffgots in Shine), one could say that the piano roared at some places and whispered at others. An increadiable recording.

Nevertheless, if you want to hear the "definative" recording of the Rach' 3rd try the Horowitz/Reiner/RCA Victor Symphony Orchestra recording of the Rach's 3rd.

By the way, the 2nd Piano Concerto was also amazingly recorded, along with the Rhapsody and the Preludes.

Buy this if you are a Rachmaninov lover or a Romantic... its a great price for 2 CDs.
