Nikolai Lugansky- Rachmaninoff: Piano Concertos Nos. 3 & 4 (reissue)

Gramophone:  immense technical fluency... innate musical quality... exceptionally well-mannered performances... Lugansky's tone is beautifully rounded and unforced in all parts of the dynamic spectrum (a truly Russian prerogative) and passages of delicate filigree are spun off with a no less enviable elegance and lightness. Musicweb: The piano playing is truly outstanding, with the young Russian giving the sort of red-blooded readings that have one thinking of a young Richter, Gilels or from our own time, Kissin or Pletnev... This is altogether outstanding Soviet pianism
