Product Description: Symphonic in scale and with great dramatic power, Rachmaninov’s Piano Sonata No. 1 in D minor is an underappreciated masterpiece, depicting a tremendous range of human emotions. The turbulent and brilliant Piano Sonata No. 2 in B flat minor is heard in the 1931 revised version, which clarifies textures and streamlines the work, heightening its emotional impact. The Isle of the Dead employs Georgy Kirkor’s 1957 transcription, which Boris Giltburg has revised significantly. Giltburg’s authority in Rachmaninov has been universally acknowledged, with his performances termed "characterful, sensitive, and technically dazzling" by BBC Music Magazine.
Pianist Boris Giltburg is lauded across the globe as a deeply sensitive, insightful and compelling interpreter. He regularly plays recitals in the world’s most prestigious halls, including Amsterdam’s Concertgebouw, Hamburg’s Elbphilharmonie, London’s Southbank Centre and Wigmore Hall, and New York’s Carnegie Hall.
Giltburg is widely recognized as a leading interpreter of Rachmaninov, and to celebrate the composer’s 150th anniversary in 2023, he released the last album in his acclaimed Rachmaninov concerto cycle, which received a Choc de Classica award and a five-star review in The Times.
In recent years, Giltburg has engaged in a series of in-depth explorations of other major composers, most recently Chopin, including three recitals at the Wigmore Hall. In 2020 he recorded on audio and audiovisual all 32 Beethoven sonatas, released in a box set in 2021.
He also recorded the complete concertos with Vasily Petrenko and the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra, and appeared in the BBC TV series Being Beethoven.
Giltburg is a consummate recording artist and has been exclusive to Naxos since 2015, winning the Opus Klassik Award for Best Soloist Recording for his Rachmaninov concertos and Études-tableaux; a Diapason d’Or for his Shostakovich concertos and his own arrangement of Shostakovich’s Eighth String Quartet; and a Choc de Classica for his Rachmaninov concertos. He also won a Gramophone Award for Dvořák’s Piano Quintet No. 2 on Supraphon with the Pavel Haas Quartet, as well as a Diapason d’Or and Choc de Classica for their joint release of Brahms’s Piano Quintet.
Giltburg’s blog, Classical Music for All, is aimed at a non specialist audience, which he complements with articles in publications such as Gramophone, BBC Music Magazine, The Guardian, The Times and Fono Forum.
