5.0 out of 5 stars Caution, Rachmaninov at work , 30 Jan 2008
By Mart Music (Essex, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      

Old recordings like these have so much historical interest attached to them. To hear on CD a recording of Rachmaninov himself playing the piano some 75 years ago is something special.

The recordings were originally made by the (quirkily named) company formerly known as the `Victor Talking Machine Company' in the 1930's and early 40's, not long before Rachmaninov's death in 1943.

Notably the `Rhapsody on a theme of Paganini' is conducted by Eugene Ormandy, Leopold Stokowski's conducting associate, and the two Piano concertos (1 & 4) by Stokowski himself, so this really is a big-name CD offered at the usual Naxos budget price.

OK, so the recordings are a long way short of today's expectations, but put into context the time they were made, and the techniques available at that time, the quality is of secondary importance. The recordings are acceptable, the Naxos price very reasonable and the performances by Rachmaninov are ones to savour.

3.0 out of 5 stars Composer as pianist, 27 Aug 2009

I bought this disc because of my love of Rachmaninoff's music. It is interesting to hear him play, albeit re-mastered. The disappointment is not Rachmaninoff playing but the quality of sound which is not nearly as good as on other re-mastered recordings or those made from piano rolls. For historical interest I would recommend this but not for the sound quality which can be frustrating.
