About
Composed at the age of 19, Rachmaninov’s earliest published cycle of piano pieces, the Morceaux de Fantaisie, contains the Prélude in C sharp minor, destined to become his signature work, and the Mélodie in E major, much loved by Tchaikovsky. The expressive Morceaux de Salon show Tchaikovsky’s influence and some of the grief felt by Rachmaninov after his mentor’s death. With the inclusion of the melodically rich Nocturnes and the Four Pieces, the earliest to survive in his hand, this collection shows both the young composer finding his voice and the timeless Rachmaninov we recognise today.

What we get here, for the most part, is slightly introverted playing that gives preference to the lyrical over the rhythmic, the gracious over the rambunctious, the tender over the inflamed...Tonal quality is unimpeachable and at no point does he allow Rachmaninov's emotionality to overflow.
