This recording is a top-level meeting between two revered giants of music demonstrating an unrivalled chemistry in Rachmaninov’s third piano concerto, one of the most technically challenging of the repertoire, but also one of the most beloved. It is coupled with Weissenberg’s rendition of a very popular work for solo piano, the prelude nicknamed The Bells of Moscow after its haunting introductory chords evoking a sinister carillon.
