Denis Matsuev (piano)

For his fourth album for Sony BMG Russian pianist Denis Matsuev has chosen to record an album of Rachmaninoff’s most virtuosic and dynamic works for piano. The album also contains the world premiere recording of two hitherto unknown pieces by Rachmaninoff, recently rediscovered by the Rachmaninoff Foundation: the Fugue in D minor and the Suite for Orchestra in D minor in a version Rachmaninoff created for piano. The recording itself was made in Rachmaninoff’s summer residence in Switzerland, where he composed many of his major works, using the composer’s own piano. The project was initiated and supported by the Rachmaninoff Foundation and Alexander Rachmaninoff in particular.

“At least two outstanding recordings of Rachmaninov's Second Piano Sonata have come my way in recent years (from Yevgeny Sudbin on BIS, and Simon Trpceski on EMI)… Yet Denis Matsuev's performance… is a formidable achievement, demonstrating breathtaking control of the complex polyphonic writing, while negotiating the ebb and flow of the musical argument with great purpose and direction.” BBC Music Magazine, February 2008 *****

“Ever since his triumph in the 1998 Tchaikovsky Competition, Denis Matsuev's name has inspired awe and amazement in musical circles. Here is a virtuosos in the grandest of grand Russian traditions who returns us to the great days of Emil Gilels… this excellently recorded disc presents the most trenchant and commanding Rachmaninov recital I have heard in years.” Gramophone Magazine, March 2008
