  • Rachmaninov (1873-1943)
    RUSSIAN, SOVIET & POST-SOVIET CONCERTOS A Discography of CDs and LPs Prepared by Michael Herman Sergei Rachmaninov (1873-1943) Born at Oneg, Novgorod Region. He had piano lessons from an early age but his serious training in composition began at the Moscow Conservatory where he studied counterpoint with Sergei Taneyev and harmony with Anton Arensky. He began to compose and for the rest of his life divided his musical time between composing, conducting and piano playing gaining great fame in all three. After leaving Russia permanently in 1917, the need to make a living made his role as a piano virtuoso predominant. His 4 Piano Concertos, Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini and substantial solo piano works make him one of the world's most-performed composers. However, he also composed operas and liturgical choral works as well as other pieces for orchestra, chamber groups and voice.

  • Ravel (1875-1937)
    FRENCH CONCERTOS From the 19th Century to the Present A Discography of CDs and LPs Prepared by Michael Herman Edited by Stephen Ellis Maurice Ravel (1875-1937) Born in Ciboure, Pyrénées-Atlantiques, Aquitaine. He studied piano as a child and later was trained at the Paris Conservatory initially by Eugène Anthiôme and Charles de Bériot but later on more importantly in counterpoint by André Gédalge and composition by Gabriel Fauré. His musical career was devoted almost exclusively to composition and he excelled at whatever genre he worked in, from opera and ballet to wonderful creations for orchestra, instrumental combinations, voice and, especially, the piano. Ravel wrote no symphonies but the ballet "Daphnis et Chloé" is listed here because Ravel called it a "Symphonie Choréographique." His larger orchestral works written for the concert hall are his Piano Concerto in G, Piano Concerto in D for the Left Hand, Rapsodie Espagnole and Boléro. Most of his other famous orchestral pieces are Ravel's own orchestrations of his piano works. Though his music is markedly different from that of Debussy, the two are considered the twin giants of French musical impressionism. Concerto for Piano in G major (1929-31) Joaquín Achúcarro (piano)/Gilbert Varga/Basque National Orchestra ( + Piano Concerto in D and Alborada del Gracioso) CLAVES CD 50-2101 (2001) Pierre-Laurent Aimard (piano)/Pierre Boulez/Cleveland Orchestra ( + Piano Concerto in D and Miroirs) DEUTSCHE GRAMMOPHON 4778770 (2010) Rolf-Dieter Arens (piano)/Heinz Rogner/Berlin Radio Symphony Orchestra ( + Franck: Symphonic Variations, Françaix: Piano Concertino and Falla: Nights in the Gardens of Spain ) BERLIN CLASSICS BC 3024-2 (1994) (original LP release: ETERNA 828004) (1988) Martha Argerich (piano)/Claudio Abbado/Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra ( + Gaspard de la Nuit and Prokofiev: Piano Concerto No.
