Following on from his formidable complete recording of the Preludes, Nikolai Lugansky now immerses us in two more major cycles by Rachmaninoff, the Études-tableaux. Like Chopin and Liszt, the Russian composer 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.
"This is a great overall interpretation of one (or two, if you prefer) of the monuments of the piano repertoire, where Lugansky, like the composer, knows perfectly how to achieve each and every effect, and doesn't flinch from a ruthlessly clear recording." Five Stars BBC Music Instrumental Choice April 2023
"Place Lugansky alongside such exceptional versions [as Richter, Pletnev and Kempf] and you have a rich display of some of the most precious jewels in the piano repertoire." Gramophone Editor's Choice March 2023
