About this album

A landmark recording of Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 3, this 1972 release pairs Vladimir Ashkenazy’s commanding virtuosity with André Previn and the London Symphony Orchestra. The concerto is one of the great tests in the piano repertoire, famous for its fearsome technical demands and sweeping lyricism, and Ashkenazy brings both brilliance and poise to the work. Previn’s accompaniment keeps the orchestral writing taut and dramatic, supporting the solo line without softening its intensity. For listeners drawn to Romantic concerto repertoire, this remains a compelling account of one of Rachmaninoff’s most celebrated compositions.
