COMPOSERS: Rachmaninov
LABELS: Warner Apex
ALBUM TITLE: Rachmaninov- Preludes
WORKS: 24 Preludes; Suite No. 2 for 2 pianos
PERFORMER: Moura Lympany, Katia & Mirielle Labèque (piano)
CATALOGUE NO: 2564 62036-2
Lympany’s final recording of Rach’s ‘24’ may lack the incandescence and rocketing bravura of her 1950s Decca trailblazer, but she remains inimitable in the more relaxed numbers. The Labèques go all out in the Suite to pulverising effect. Julian Haylock
