Internationally acclaimed pianist Leif Ove Andsnes and conductor Antonio Pappano have now reissued their Rachmaninov: Piano Concertos Nos. 3 & 4. A recording which received glorious, universal acclaim.

"If judicious sensuality is indeed on vital quality that manifests itself in [Andsnes's] new recording with the LSO and Pappano, another is the impressive physicality of the performance...He, Pappano and the orchestra breathe together...If Andsnes's playing is arresting for the quantity of relevant detail that he conveys, so too is the orchestra's." Editor's Choice Gramophone Magazine, Awards Issue 2010

"...together with his lustrous tone and physical power he brings to the Third Concerto a compelling poetic sensibility. He and Pappano are entirely as one in finding the music's pulse, its fluxes of pace and its blend of grandeur, mellowness and bravura...This is a disc of terrific stature." The Telegraph, 5th October 2010 *****

"emotionally subtle music-making, light and beckoning one minute, steely with tension the next...the orchestra's lyrical flow is the first thing you notice as the Third Concerto begins. Pappano might not be conducting opera here, but he can't help bringing out the music's song or revealing its heart." The Times, 15th October 2010 ****
