Vladimir Ashkenazy is the pre-eminent interpreter of Rachmaninov s music, having championed it since the outset of his career. Ashkenazy is the only musician to record all of the composer s piano works. This collection includes all Rachmaninov s piano music, from his earliest compositions to the final masterpieces.

When Ashkenazy marked his 75th birthday (6 July 2012), he recorded a final album of Rachmaninov s music, called Rachmaninov Rarities. This album includes the Seven Pieces (Moments Musicaux) Op.10, three Nocturnes, and ten shorter early works, including an unpublished 'Song without Words', including world premieres of....

While the vast majority of the recording in this set are of digital-era provenance, the 11th CD includes earlier (analogue) versions of works included elsewhere in the set, including Ashkenazy s earlier thoughts on the Corelli Variations and the Etudes-Tableaux, Op. 39.

This is the first of a number of really compelling Rachmaninov products in 2014: it may not be an anniversary but 2014 is hugely significant, as this major 20th-century figure died in 1943, over 70 years ago. That means most markets no longer pay mechanicals on this ever-popular composer.

Ashkenazy s Rachmaninov recordings whether of the concertos or the mature solo piano works have long led the field with their balance of contained muscularity and lyrical insight. (The Daily Telegraph/ London)

There is superb flair and panache about Ashkenazy s playing and his poetic feeling is second to none. (The Penguin Guide)
