For a start, you get all you need on two well-filled discs at super-budget price, and although the packaging again doesn’t include any sort of information or booklet, the performances are all digital and of pretty recent provenance. In fact, I would say at the outset that the only real problem for this set will be the vast amount of competition, some of it just as cheap. Let me declare my overall favourite straightaway, John Lill’s highly poetic and intelligent account of the youthful Concerto No.1, which in his capable hands emerges as far more than a Tchaikovskian war-horse. The bravura is all there, but is balanced against the darker, more introspective moments for which Rachmaninov is justly famous. Try the finale, which is always tricky to bring off, its barnstorming opening giving way to a typically lush but slightly melancholy ‘big tune’ (around 2"15’ in on this recording); Otaka and the BBC NOW lend sensitive support to Lill’s handling of this glorious episode, and although one critic on its first release were worried that the pianist sounded "too hard and Lisztian (!) ", I have no problem at all with this performance.

His leadership on the Cincinnati podium has captured international attention, attracted new artists to Cincinnati, drawn new audiences to the orchestra's historic Music Hall and consistently won praise from critics. "Paavo Järvi (is) putting the Cincinnati Symphony on the map," declared Gramophone "For the 2003-2004 season I have invited emerging young artists as well as soloists and conductors with illustrious careers to perform on this historic stage. We have also programmed works never performed here alongside works by the masters. By celebrating these new artists and works even as we honor and rediscover the riches of the past, my hope is to create together with this distinguished orchestra many unforgettable musical moments of the 21st century," said Maestro Järvi.

There I noted his “immense technical fluency” and “innate musical quality” while finding some of his playing “oddly detached”. The same qualities emerge in these fleet, exceptionally well-mannered performances of the Third and Fourth Concertos, set within Ivan Shpiller’s polite, even anodyne, partnership (try the one moment of orchestral glory, the introduction to the Third Concerto’s central “Intermezzo”) and Vanguard Classics’ gentle, soft-focus sound. Such an approach may be temporarily fashionable (recent discs by Andsnes and Thibaudet come to mind) but Rachmaninov’s regenerative glamour and urgency surely require at least as much recognition as his inherently aristocratic nature.

Also, while finding the sound in the last 2 discs (from the 60s and 90s) enjoyable, he's not happy with the sound on the mono transfers in the first 3 discs. Paul Goldstein counters that pitch stability is important to him and that this is good on all of these and that he hears a "basically musical sound throughout" in contrast to the "muffled, denatured" results from, as an example, EMI's Schnabel Beethoven sonatas. He recommends this set as a very inexpensive way to hear "some of the most famous old piano recordings."

Quiz Search this site In this section The King is alive The appliance of science Heads on the block 'I think I'm quite good at my job' ... Is this rap's logical conclusion? Man for all the people Many experts have little time for Rchmaninov just because his music is so popular. Is this fair? Jessica Duchen talks to pianist and conductor Vladimir Ashkenazy and film-maker Tony Palmer Friday April 30, 1999 Vladimir Ashkenazy is angry. The object of his vitriol is a review in a Berlin newspaper following a performance of Sergei Rachmaninov's Third Symphony. "The headline was: Dr Zhivago's Music. Just like that, dismissing it like film music. I thought, 'You miserable idiots! There is so much in this symphony - can you not hear it?' I think it's unbelievably arrogant, so small-minded." The anecdote illustrates the unusual stigma that has beset the music of Rachmaninov for decades. While some composers suffer from being unjustly neglected, Rachmaninov's problem is quite the opposite.

Konzerte 16. bis 20.05.2002 Festspielhaus Baden - Baden Herbert von Karajan Pfingstfestspiele Momente von hoher musikalischer Intensität Von Christoph Wurzel / Foto: pr Viel Beethoven, in zwei Konzerten Bruckner und Schubert, etwas Mozart und einmal Schumann. Dies war das Spektrum der diesjährigen Herbert von Karajan Pfingstfestspiele in Baden-Baden. Mit der Errichtung des Festspielhauses vor fünf Jahren waren sie von Salzburg nach Baden-Baden umgezogen, wo sie seitdem vor allem dem klassischen Repertoire gewidmet sind. Es sind kaum gegensätzlichere Dirigentenpersönlichkeiten denkbar als Herbert von Karajan und Günter Wand. Und dennoch: Günter Wand wollte das Eröffnungskonzert der Pfingstfestspiele mit "seinem" NDR-Sinfonieorchester dirigieren, eine kleine Sensation angesichts seiner damals bereits geringen Reisetätigkeit. Doch sein plötzlicher Tod im Februar machte die Vorfreude des Baden-Badener Publikums jäh zunichte und sein zweiter Nachfolger als Chefdirigent dieses Orchesters, Christoph Eschenbach, sprang spontan in die Lücke und übernahm das Konzert nun mit verändertem Programm. Es enthielt zwei von Wands Lieblingswerken: Schuberts Unvollendete und Bruckners Neunte. Kein Zweifel - Günter Wand hat Schuberts Unvollendete gelassener dirigiert. Doch wie sollte sich angesichts seines Todes Gelassenheit einstellen? Christoph Eschenbach betonte vom ersten Takt an denn auch die tiefgründige Traurigkeit, die im h-Moll von Schuberts Werk zum Ausdruck kommt.
