This live recording was made in October 2022—at the project’s midpoint—during a concert themed “Preludes: Signs of Eternity.”\n\nThis album allows listeners to hear the results of two composers with distinct personalities tackling the “prelude”—a form whose expressive possibilities were expanded by Chopin—using entirely different approaches.\n\nThe 12 preludes in Debussy’s *Preludes, Book 2* are characterized by their diversity, likely influenced by the novel rhythms and striking sounds of Stravinsky’s ballet music, which had been premiered by the Ballets Russes that were taking Paris by storm. Together with Book 1, which was released on CD in the same series in 2020, this completes Nakamichi’s recording of all 24 pieces. Rachmaninoff’s “Preludes,” composed to encompass all 24 keys, are music of the inner soul that carries on the legacy of Chopin. They are a collection of masterpieces characterized by a grand scale reminiscent of the Russian landscape and a deep melancholy.\nSony Music\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"RCA Red Seal","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53484266160417,"sku":"4547366842203","price":545.0,"currency_code":"MXN","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/4547366842203.jpg?v=1789046538","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/en-mx\/products\/4547366842203","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
