About

Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli brings his proverbial refinement and technical mastery to two works composed within a few years of each other: Ravel’s exquisite, jazz-inflected G major concerto and Rachmaninov’s 4th concerto, more discreetly Romantic than its two much-loved predecessors.

With his infinitely subtle gradations of colour and touch, Michelangeli proves characteristically mesmerising in both.

Reviews

There are few records on the catalogue more worthy of being described as a ‘Great Recording of the Century’ than Michelangeli’s superb coupling of Rachmaninov and Ravel. ... The current remastering has been expertly managed and at mid-price it should be included in even the most modest collection.

Michelangeli's slow movement [Ravel] is ravishing, and the sparkle of the outer movements is underpinned by a refined Ravelian sensitivity.
