This new recording presents the sonata in its original form before Rachmaninoff imposed cuts prior to the premiere
'A triumph that could hardly be more formidably caught than by Steven Osborne'
A cultured, elevated release, not to be missed
Liszt-playing of this order of poetic richness and immediacy is rare indeed and Giorgini’s recording should be in the possession of those who call Liszt’s stature into doubt
If there is any pianist who can command the necessary delicacy, power and underlying emotional fervour it is Yuja Wang, united to perfection with Gustavo Dudamel
I could not pick a favourite from among these 18 performances – each has its individual character and exerts its own particular charm
Williams is a characterful stylist, and the album is immensely enjoyable
EEE is an excellent survey of a richly rewarding partnership
'Every one of these recordings is like gold dust'
This is beautiful music, wonderfully recorded
Delightful discoveries abound. Look no further than the opening track, Blue Blazes by Joseph Tunbridge, one of seven world premiere recordings
These are significant pieces, and many suffused with an evanescent charm to which Andsnes does full justice
This elegant new edition includes three tasteful cadenza options by Robert Levin for the third movement
