Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini, Op.43; Symphony No.3 in A minor, Op.44
Yevgeny Sudbin (piano),
Singapore Symphony Orchestra, Lan Shui
• BIS present two works composed by Sergei Rachmaninov, featuring virtuoso pianist Yevgeny Sudbin alongside the Singapore Symphony Orchestra under Lan Shui.
• Rachmaninov composed Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini after a seven-year silence, and consists of 24 variations taken from Paganini’s 24th Caprice for solo violin.
• The Rhapsody was soon followed by his Third Symphony. Its themes have a marked Russian character used with great subtlety.
• Lan Shui and his Singapore Symphony Orchestra here follow their acclaimed 2008 recording of Rachmaninov’s Symphony No.2 (BIS-SACD-1712).
• The discography of Yevgeny Sudbin includes a Rachmaninov solo recital (BIS-SACD-1518), and a recording of the Fourth Piano Concerto (BIS-SACD-1728).
