2005 Gramophone Award Winner on 180g Vinyl 3LP!

Stephen Hough's four Rachmaninov Piano Concertos have long been viewed as reference recordings of this iconic repertoire, the standard by which others must be judged. Bolstered by the Dallas Symphony Orchestra under Andrew Litton, Hough made a conscious return to the fast and lean performance tradition of the composer himself, avoiding the sentimental 'Hollywood' approach that had become so prevalent, for this triumphantly successful, awards-lavished Rachmaninov cycle.

These rank among the most illuminating—and most compelling—performances in the catalog. Whether you're a Rachmaninov addict looking for fresh perspectives on the music or a neophyte looking for the cycle in up-to-date sound, Hough and Litton can be recommended without hesitation
-Fanfare, USA
These are exhilarating performances, freshly conceived and texturally pristine ... with such committed advocacy and technical bravura, Hough's interpretations demand to be heard
-The Sunday Times
These live concert recordings stand out in a field jam-packed with first-rate Rachmaninov concerto cycles
