Following his formidable complete recording of Sergei Rachmaninoff’s Preludes, Nikolai Lugansky now immerses us in two more major cycles by the composer, the Études-tableaux. Like Chopin and Liszt, Rachmaninoff here transcends every technical difficulty to make room for emotion alone. At once poet and virtuoso, Nikolai Lugansky is unmatched in his ability to do justice to this prodigious musical kaleidoscope.
