Rachmaninoff: Etudes-tableaux Op.33 & Op.39

Nikolai Lugansky

After his fabulous complete recording of the Préludes, Nikolai Lugansky lets us hear two more important cycles by Rachmaninoff: the Études-Tableaux op. 33 and op. 39. Like Chopin and Liszt, the Russian composer transformed technical difficulties into pure emotion. Nikolai Lugansky is both poet and virtuoso, and how he is able to do justice to this wonderful musical kaleidoscope is unique.

Reviews "... the 50-year-old has succeeded in giving a mature and confident account that takes into account the many aspects of the compositions and forcefully demonstrates that these etudes are by no means exclusive virtuoso fodder, as the composer's opponents like to portray them to this day. (...) These concentrated performances certainly invite us to reconsider all too facile assessments and devaluations of Rachmaninoff's music." (FONO FORUM, April 2023)
