About

Sergei Rachmaninov’s piano music can serve as a powerful introduction to the instrument for those not yet familiar with classical repertoire: its immediacy, sheer charm and expressive power cannot fail to move even non-musical listeners.

These same qualities, however, yield the most common prejudices against Rachmaninov, especially among those who view him as a reactionary bent on easy appreciation, as if this were inherently synonymous with mediocrity.

In these virtuosic performances of three Rachmaninov solo works - of which Isle of the Dead is a recording premiere - Italian pianist Carlo Grante demonstrates the music’s depth of thought, originality and inventiveness, making a convincing case for its viability today.
