This new release from Firma Melodiya presents variations and piano transcriptions by Sergei Rachmaninoff. The variation cycles for solo piano (Variations on a Theme of Chopin, Op. 22 and Variations on a Theme of Corelli, Op. 42), the first of which date back to Rachmaninoff's heyday and the other to his emigration period, are not among his most popular works. Nevertheless, they allow us to lift the veil over the creative workshop of the great composer and pianist and gain a greater understanding of the inner world of the creator and interpreter. Just as he does in his arrangements of other composers' music, Rachmaninoff remains true to himself in the variations on others' themes transforming Chopin's and Corelli's material in the hearth of his own artistic individuality. The genre of transcription is represented with Minuet from Georges Bizet's L'arlesienne Suite No. 1, Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy's A Midsummer Night's Dream, Pyotr Tchaikovsky's Lullaby and the composer's arrangements of the romances Lilacs and Daisies. The featured recordings of Rachmaninoff's works were made by Alexander Bakhchiev, Dmitri Bashkirov and Alexei Nasedkin, remarkable pianists of the second half of the 20th century, and Sergei Kasprov, a musician of the new generation, representative of Alexei Lyubimov's school, associate professor of the Moscow Conservatory and prize-winner of international competitions.
