KHATIA BUNIATISHLVI - RACHMANINOFF : PIANO CONCERTS

For the first time, 2016 ECHO Klassik prize-winner Khatia Buniatishvili has set her sights on the two most popular piano concertos by the late-romantic composer Sergei Rachmaninoff to present what is now only her second concert recording. Following upon her solo albums, such as ’Kaleidoscope’ with Mussorgsky's ‘Pictures’ at an exhibition, Ravel's ‘La valse’ and Stravinsky's ‘Petrushka’, Khatia Buniatishvili is now presenting her second concert recording with the famous concertos of Sergei Rachmaninoff. Rachmaninoff, an epoch-making pianist, composed it in 1909 for his own well-trained fingers to play on his first tour of the United States.
