BIS present two works composed by Sergei Rachmaninov, featuring virtuoso pianist Yevgeny Sudbin alongside the Singapore Symphony Orchestra under Lan Shui.

Rachmaninov composed Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini after a seven-year silence. It consists of 24 variations taken from Paganini’s 24th Caprice for solo violin.

The Rhapsody was soon followed by his Third Symphony, whose themes have a marked Russian character used with great subtlety.

Lan Shui and his Singapore Symphony Orchestra here follow their acclaimed 2008 recording of Rachmaninov’s Symphony No.2 (BISSACD1712).

The discography of Yevgeny Sudbin includes a Rachmaninov solo recital (BISSACD1518: ‘An extraordinary disc by anyone's standard’ - BBC Music Magazine), and a recording of the Fourth Piano Concerto (BISSACD1728).
