Nikolai Lugansky: Rachmaninoff 24 Preludes

Rachmaninoff took the genre of the prelude to its highest degree of perfection with his boundless musical invention and fearsome technical demands. In his first recording for Harmonia Mundi, Russian pianist Nikolai Lugansky brilliantly meets the challenge, offering a program of the finest gems in his repertory of choice. BBC Music Magazine said, “Lugansky captures the depth of emotion and sheer variety of these pieces, demonstrating a balance of power and poise that mark him out as a notable Rachmaninoff interpreter.”
