Rachmaninoff was one of the most gifted pianists of his time. His technical skills and musical expressiveness were unsurpassed and enabled him to thoroughly explore and expand the boundaries of what’s possible through his own compositions. Although his music is strongly rooted in the tradition of his predecessors, it gains novelty through the pioneering work of the “last romantic”. Star pianist Peter Rösel devoted himself to these legendary works in a series of recordings. The elaborate remaster of the original tapes included in this edition now allows his masterful interpretation and Rachmaninoff’s work to resound in new splendor.
