Following upon her solo albums, such as Kaleidoscope with Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition, Ravel's La Valse and Stravinsky's Petrushka, Khatia Buniatishvili is now presenting her second concert recording with the famous concertos of Sergei Rachmaninoff. The Second, that tuneful evergreen of 1901, has long been one of the most frequently recorded of all concertos and has left an indelible mark on Tin Pan Alley, Hollywood and popular culture altogether. The much longer and far more difficult Third is one of the heavyweights of the repertoire. Rachmaninoff, an epoch-making pianist, composed it in 1909 for his own well-trained fingers to play on his first tour of the United States. Its dedicatee, Josef Hofmann, refused to touch it, claiming that he lacked the strength and the hand-width to negotiate the widely spaced chords of the absurdly difficult solo part. Now Khatia Buniatishvili, called 'The Fearless Virtuoso' in the title story of last year's BBC Music Magazine, has faced the challenge and recorded the work with the Czech Philharmonic under Paavo Järvi.Format: VinylGenre: ClassicalArtist: Khatia BuniatishviliNo Of Discs: 2Country/Region of Manufacture: PortugalRecord Label: Music On VinylEAN: 8719262004016 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
