The virtuoso pianist Boris Giltburg plays a programme of Rachmaninov's Preludes, which are undisputed jewels of the piano repertoire. Starting with the great Prelude in C-sharp minor, which depict the tolling of great bells, to the highly imaginative flights of fancy in the last set of preludes that Rachmaninov wrote, his Opus 32. Boris Giltburg has firmly placed his own stamp on these Preludes and tonight's Radio 3 in Concert is a rare chance to hear all 24 of them in one performance. Giltburg writes: ‘Musically speaking, the cycle of Preludes is a treasure trove of tangible, breathing atmosphere, of arresting narratives and emotional snapshots, endlessly varied. No two of them are fully alike.’ Recorded on 28th September at the Queen Elizabeth Hall in London and presented by Martin Handley.
