This is Lang Lang’s complete Rachmaninoff recordings, which capture the heart of Russian Romantic music. Described by The Times as “a marvel, his ease of virtuosity astonishing, his stage presence magnetic”, Lang Lang presents two of Rachmaninoff’s favourite concertos (nos. 2 and 3), the dazzlingly virtuosic Paganini Rhapsody and the deeply felt Trio élégiaque, in which he is partnered by Repin and Maisky – plus a spirited performance of the great G minor Prelude.

The recording of Rachmaninoff No.3 is from the BBC Proms in London from 2002 - a breakthrough performance for the pianist, coupled with a live performance of Sonata No.2 in B-flat minor at Seiji Ozawa Hall, Tanglewood.
