William Kapell Edition, Vol. 3: Rachmaninoff: Piano Concerto No. 2; Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini / Shostakovich: 3 Preludes [Original recording remastered]
Chopin, Rachmaninoff are my favorite piano pieces. They were Romantic composers, therefore you really feel this music. It can be heavenly and divine to listen to. And yes, it requires a brain, heart and emotions to enjoy it, and even more soul, I guess, to interpret these works.I just bought a new CD on Amazon, pianist, William Kapell, who lived from 1922, and was killed in a plane crash Oct. 29, 1953, returning from a tour of Australia. It is mono, but in very good sound, red seal by RCA. It is called William Kapell Edition, Volume three. Rachmaninoff Concerto No 2 in C Minor , also Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini, both by Rachmaninoff, and Shotakovich’s 3 Preludes. This is a beautiful interpretation of these 3 works. He is accompanied by the Robin Dell Orchestra with Fritz Reiner, conducting.
Thanks
