Free Music Review: Rachmaninoff in the Hands of a Master
Hit: 5 Stars
Since the LP turntable bit the dust, I'd forgotten the power of the Rachmaninoff Sonata in Van Cliburn's hands. I don't think the piano is capable of producing what he brings out of it, but his playing defies me. The hugeness of this masterpiece could overpower lyricism and form, but in Van Cliburn's hands there is nothing lost. Listen to the individual and inter-woven melodies, the harmonic and rhythmic progressions, as well as the overall piece. I'm brought to tears over and over again by the emotions and power of this Sonata and cannot imagine anyone but Cliburn able to wrap their hands around it. But it's not just his huge hands and powerful playing. It's the subtleties of the construction that don't get lost in the playing. Intelligent and beautiful interpretation. The sonata alone would make it worthwhile to own this CD. Other compositions, all richly and/or lyrically played, is icing on the cake. If you love Rachmaninoff, you'll love Van Cliburn's playing of it. My one regret? The 2nd and 3rd Concertos are not part of this set.
