CD Reviews

Best rachmaninoff recording this decade

11/04/1999

(5 out of 5 stars)

"i am pleased to say i have had both the out dated lp versions and now the cd set of the laredo rachmaninoff collaboration and indeed have found few other artist so true to the real Russian voice of the composer. the warmth of the great grand used for the recording is is only further heated by the exacting, energetic and sincere interpretation Ruth has given us.We are truly fortunate Sony put it to cd, but i still remain saddened it was never done in DDD mode this is a true Yardstick for the avid Listener of Great russian Music"

Brilliant, romantic pianism of the highest order

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Laredo is one of the great interpreters or Rachmaninoff today. These recordings are brilliant, passionate and expressive. A virtuoso with heart and soul!"

Bad playing

(2 out of 5 stars)

"The performance is heavy-handed and there are both interpretation flaws and missed notes. It's further marred by some of the worst recording engineering work I have ever heard on a classical major-label release. Unfortunately, few other versions of this music have been issued. My advice is to wait for one to appear."
