Each of Sergei Rachmaninov’s masterful 24 Preludes of op. 3, 23 & 32 express the composer’s deepest emotions, from ecstatic joy and tolling of bells to Slavic melancholy and utter tragedy. Silver medalist at the 2015 Tchaikovsky Piano Competition, Lukas Geniušas’s earlier recording for Piano Classics (PCL0075, Beethoven and Brahms Sonatas), received great critical acclaim: “Geniušas not only convinces with energy and virtuosity, he also approaches the massive sound structures with a deep poetic feeling” (Spiegel, Germany). Recorded live in concert in Moscow Conservatory’s famed big hall.
