Rachmaninoff: Concertos Nos. 1 & 4; Paganini Rhapsody / Simon, Slatkin, SLSO

Abbey Simon and Leonard Slatkin’s much-admired set of Rachmaninov’s works for piano and orchestra makes a welcome return to the catalogue with this release of Piano Concertos Nos. 1 and 4 plus the Paganini Rhapsody. These classic performances originally issued on the Vox label in the late 1970s were produced by Marc Aubort and Joanna Nickrenz whose recordings are considered by audiophiles to be amongst the finest available. Piano Concertos Nos. 2 and 3 with Simon and Slatkin are available on VOX-NX-3014CD.
