About this album

A distinguished pairing of Ravel and Rachmaninoff concertos, this recording showcases Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli’s formidable control and crystalline touch. The G major concerto by Ravel and Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 4, both cornerstone works of the concert hall, are heard with the Philharmonia Orchestra under Ettore Gracis. Michelangeli was celebrated for his exacting technique and cool authority, qualities that bring special clarity to music demanding both lyricism and virtuosity. In combining French refinement with late-Romantic intensity, the album stands as a refined example of mid-century concerto interpretation and a favourite among serious classical listeners.
