Piano Concerto No.2/Paganini Rhapsody

Anna Vinnitskaya (piano) & NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra, Krzysztof Urbanski

Samen met het NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchester onder leiding van Krzystof Urbanski heeft Anna Vinnitskaya nu het tweede pianoconcert van Rachmaninov en zijn "Rapsodie over een thema van Paganini" naar Sjostakovitsj en Brahms opgenomen. De twee artiesten laten niets te wensen over, zo vol van hart, elegante virtuositeit en opzwepende speelvreugde klinken de bekende composities.

Rachmaninov:
 Piano Concerto No. 2 in C minor, Op. 18
 Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini, Op. 43

"The best performances should ideally project both virtuoso bravura and chamber-like interaction between soloist and ensemble. This happens throughout the Second Concerto’s opening movement, where pianist Anna Vinnitskaya and conductor Kryzystof Urba?ski resist the temptation to smother lyrical passages."
Gramophone Magazine - October 2017

"Vinnitskaya’s playing is an absolute delight for its natural, songful, expressive phrasing and a cool unpretentious temperament rather akin with the composer’s own recorded approach. Always intelligent, and present in the moment, she is alive to the inner voices and colourful contrasts in both [the Concerto] and the Paganini Rhapsody."
