This captivating album, released on January 19, 2024, under the Lyrinx label, is a testament to Rachmaninov's virtuosity and his profound interpretation of both his own compositions and those of Tchaikovsky. Spanning a duration of one hour and one minute, this collection offers a rich tapestry of live performances that showcase Rachmaninov's technical brilliance and emotional depth.

Allegro agitato" to the haunting "No. 7 in C Minor. Lento lugubre (Marche funèbre)."
The album also includes a delicate arrangement of Tchaikovsky's "Lullaby (Berceuse)," beautifully adapted for solo piano by Rachmaninov. This inclusion adds a layer of warmth and tenderness to the collection, demonstrating Rachmaninov's versatility and his deep connection to the musical heritage of his time.
