Boris Giltburg is a pure representative of the Russian school (although he emigrated as a child), oriented toward virtuoso repertory. Nevertheless, he took a while to come to the Rachmaninov, the quintessence of the tradition; many of his recordings have been devoted to Beethoven or to the unquestionably virtuosic but harder-edged Prokofiev. As it turns out, his Rachmaninov is very strong. Sample around in the Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini, Op. 43; this is a well-trodden work indeed, but Giltburg's reading is fresh and exciting. There is a marvelous sense of discovering something new around every corner of Paganini's theme, and his comparatively light-toned Fazioli piano complements his interpretation perfectly. So too, does the brisk conducting of Vassily Sinaisky leading the Brussels Philharmonic, both in the Rhapsody and the first and last Rachmaninov piano concertos. The lush Piano Concerto No. 1 in F sharp minor, Op. 1, presented here in its revised 1917 version, is also a standout. With unusually good studio sound from Naxos, this is a far-above-average Rachmaninov release.
