Product description
This historic reference edition contains an outstanding CD recording by internationally renowned artist, Idil Biret, who records on the Naxos label. She has made more than 70 recordings including the complete solo piano works and all the concertos of Chopin, Brahms and Rachmaninoff. At the age of fifteen, Biret graduated from the Paris Conservatoire with three first prizes. She went on to study with Alfred Cortot and then Wilhelm Kempff, who considered her his finest student.
Sergei Vasilievich Rachmaninoff (1873-1943) Russian composer, pianist and conductor. He played the piano from the age of five. After a short time his musical talent became apparent and in 1882, at the age of nine, he entered the St Petersburg Conservatory. At the age of twelve he moved to the Moscow Conservatory. He took his exams at the conservatory a year early, and the examining committee was so impressed with his performance that he was awarded the Great Gold Medal of the Moscow Conservatory, only the second time in its history that this had happened. He was one of the last of the Russian Romantic composers, and because he lived at the turn of the century, he was influenced by both old and new creative styles. Some of his most famous works include his Symphony No. 2, Piano Concerto No. 2, Piano Concerto No. 3 and Piano Concerto No. 4.
