Howard Shelley is celebrated for his interpretations of the music of Rachmaninov, and his performances of these famous works are both fresh and full of insight.

"Shelley's intelligent, musicianly virtuosity enlightens, often inspires, and always satisfies. Shelley finds details that other pianists miss. For example, he brings noticeable variety of dynamic shadings and accents to the Paganini Rhapsody's solo part, while the orchestra gathers strength as the music progresses. The Second Concerto's finale easily holds its ground in the proverbial dazzle department, and the Third is a master-class in poise and proportion." (ClassicsToday)
