RUTH LAREDO PLAYS RACHMANINOFF (5 CDS)

In the 1970s, the outstanding American pianist Ruth Laredo made an acclaimed complete recording for Columbia of the solo piano music of Rachmaninoff. The LPs were remastered onto five CDs to mark the 50th anniversary of the composer’s death. Their latest reissue is sure to be welcomed by collectors sharing BBC Music Magazine’s enthusiasm for “these fine, idiomatic interpretations. The pair of virtually symphonic sonatas come across in all their full-blooded glory.”
