About

Alternating the roles of soloist and accompanist, Alexander Melnikov has brought together here two works emblematic of Rachmaninov at his creative peak: the famous Études-tableaux, op.39, and Six Poems, op.38, were followed by a very long silence. In 1931, it was a man broken by destiny who produced the Variations on a Theme by Corelli, a bitter work that yearns for a past gone forever.

“This stunning disc is finely recorded and makes you look forward to a further balance of songs and piano music from both these remarkable artists.” - Bryce Morrison, Gramophone, April 2008

“This is Rachmaninov without frills, without superfluity, without artifice (though with oh such art!). This is Rachmaninov.” - Alexander Levin, Piano, March/April 2008

“No need for other benchmarks: this opulently recorded Rachmaninov disc is essential.”
- David Nice, BBC Music Magazine, August 2008
