Ruth Laredo plays Rachmaninoff

In the 1970s, the outstanding American pianist Ruth Laredo made an acclaimed complete recording for American Columbia of the solo piano music of Rachmaninoff. The LPs were remastered on to five CDs to mark the 50th anniversary of the composers death. Their latest reissue is sure to be welcomed by collectors sharing BBC Music Magazines enthusiasm for these fine, idiomatic interpretations. The pair of virtually symphonic sonatas come across in all their full-blooded glory.
