Simply a great way of getting all four Piano Concertos and the Paganini Rhapsody

This is a great way of getting Vladimir Ashkenazy’s classic 1970’s recordings of Sergei Rachmaninov’s four Piano Concertos; this time with Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini, the B flat minor Piano Sonata and Variations on a Theme of Corelli. Vladimir Ashkenazy shines here as does the London Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Andre Previn. Recorded at Kingsway Hall, London from April 1970 to February 1980, all recording levels do blend flush together as if recorded at the same time. The three discs come in a traditional double plastic jewel-case with booklet
