The Edison Recordings Volume 4

Description

Rachmaninoff was forced to start a new life after abandoning everything he owned when he left Russia in 1917. He sought a future in the New World and supported his family as a pianist while giving numerous concerts. His work attracted the interest of major recording studios; thus, Rachmaninoff worked for a long time with Thomas Edison in his studio in New York. Here, Rachmaninoff reveals his virtuosic approach to Chopin, a magnificent sound in the works of Mozart, and incredible technique in Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2, the longest solo work he ever recorded.
