About

This year marks 150 years since the birth of Rachmaninov. Following on from his formidable complete recording of the Preludes, Nikolai Lugansky now immerses us in two more major cycles by the Russian composer, the Études- Tableaux.

Like Chopin and Liszt, Rachmaninov 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, a fitting tribute on the anniversary of such a celebrated artist.

April 2023

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.
5 out of 5 stars

March 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.
