This review is from: Rachmaninov: Morceaux de Salon, Op. 10; Moments Musicaux, Op. 16 (Audio CD)

This is a program that is somewhat under-represented in the catalogue. I own lots of piano music, tons of Richter, the Rachmaninoff by the composer and Ashkenazy and Gavrilov, Lazar Berman, etc etc etc. I also listen to everything in piano from Bach through Prokofiev... somehow I find myself brought back to this album every so often, and I don't know what to say about it other than it is gorgeous music interpreted with refinement and lots of feeling. Absolutely beautiful, one of the jewels in my collection.

... If you love Rachmaninov, this disc is a MUST HAVE. It is one of 3 CD's I have purchased within the past 3 months in an effort to obtain an emotionally satisfying recording of Rach's Moment Musical No.4 Although I would have preferred a slightly slower tempo, Shelley plays the piece with FLAIR and PASSION, yet his playing remains clean and accurate throughout. His is a powerful and beautifully crafted performance. The rest of the disc is just as satisfying. The bonus is that because of this purchase, I have "discovered" a most wonderful interpreter of Rachmaninov's piano music. I can't wait to add Shelley's recording of Rachmaninov's Transcriptions to my collection.
