Rachmaninov. Etudes-tableaux Op.33 & 39. Angelich

Nicholas Angelich (piano)

Rachmaninov: Études-tableaux Opp.33 & 39

In these pieces written by a composer soon to leave his homeland forever, there are two key elements: étude – a pianistic virtuosity rarely equaled – and tableau, a remarkable evocative power. The composer left only a few clues to the subjects that inspired him – a fair, the sea, a funeral march. But every listener can marvel at the mysterious and varied atmospheres of these miraculous miniatures, performed here with style and virtuosity by Nicholas Angelich.
