Description:

This is the first release in the "Sony Classical Masterpieces Collection 1000". This album features Vladimir Ashkenazy's Rachmaninoff works that require extreme virtuosity and a rare Chinese piano concerto. With the mature support of the Philadelphia Orchestra conducted by Eugene Ormandy, the young virtuoso in his thirties gives a brilliant performance that captures the essence of the piece, and the way he interacts with the orchestral music is very intense.
