Full review

This double CD from a large collection brings together what are considered to be the finst recordings
ever made by the artist. The version of Rachmaninov's Piano Cencerto No. 3 is perhaps the definitive
recording: technically brilliant and a joy to listen to, and by far my favourite version. She has chosen the scherzo-like cadenza
which Rachmaninov himself favoured. Also featured are Liszt's Piano Concerto No. 1 and Ravel's
Gaspard de la Nuit among other things. For piano music lovers, these are some of the best recordings I have heard.
Highly recommended to all.
