Biography
Russian composer and virtuoso pianist whose music closed the Romantic era: the 'Piano Concerto No. 2' and 'Piano Concerto No. 3', the 'Symphony No. 2', the 'All-Night Vigil' and the famous 'Prelude in C-sharp minor'. Exiled by the Russian Revolution, he spent his last decades in the United States as one of the most celebrated pianists of his age, leaving landmark recordings for #RCA Victor# and a body of piano music built on sweeping melody and formidable technique.
