Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini

Album Notes & Community Reviews

Featuring the composer's friend and legendary pianist Artur Rubinstein, this recording captures the virtuosic fireworks and profound, sweeping lyricism of Rakhmaninov's late masterpiece. The soloist navigates the blindingly fast variations and the famously romantic '18th Variation' with a perfect blend of technical fire and aristocratic elegance. It is an absolute cornerstone recording of the 20th-century piano repertoire.
