Before then though, he had conquered the virtuoso repertoire in a most un-British fashion - making Rachmaninov the center of his art and recording a series of warhorses in spectacular style. The Dohnnyi Capriccio of 1929, his earliest recording, and part of a prize for a competition win, lays down the gauntlet in a coruscating performance to rival the Horwitz version released the same year. His recordings of the 2nd and 3rd Rachmaninov concertos and Rhapsody were for a time best-sellers. But there is poetry and charm too, particularly in the various encore-like transcriptions he set down. This set brings together for the first time all the recordings he made as a solo player before his stroke.","brand":"Rock Band Merch","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52235255709927,"sku":"APGS1977150.2","price":42.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1158\/5192\/files\/3993577-2734100_c0bbeabe-7041-4115-964c-1e47e2daaaf9.jpg?v=1782033717","url":"https:\/\/www.triathletestore.com\/de-de\/products\/complete-solo-recordings-various-complete-solo-recordings-various-music-cd","provider":"Triathlete Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
