About

Rachmaninov’s Piano Concerto No.3 is a complex, epic narrative that moves from a simple opening melody to the triumphant apotheosis at its conclusion. The composer ingeniously links motifs, melodies and at times whole sections between the movements, unifying the concerto into a single overarching storyline. In the Variations on a Theme of Corelli, Rachmaninov reworks the original theme using his unique harmonic language until there is no trace left of its Baroque or Renaissance origins.

The previous release of Rachmaninov’s Second Piano Concerto (8573629) by Giltburg, the RSNO and Prieto was a Gramophone Choice and included in the magazine’s Top 10 Rachmaninov recordings. Critic Geoffrey Norris wrote: “The fusion of freshness with generous spirit and soul lends an enthralling dynamism to this familiar repertoire. Meanwhile American Record Guide wrote: “this is a very romantic performance and has to join the best ones on my shelf.”

Known for his charismatic conducting, dynamism and expressive interpretations, Carlos Miguel Prieto is one of Mexico’s leading conductors.
