Description:

A collection of solo piano recordings by Rachmaninoff, including rare takes. This sixth collection includes recordings made after his contract with Thomas Edison ended and he moved to Victor Talking Machine. Victor was eager to record this star pianist and documented many of his performances, and here we have not only his own works, but also encore pieces by Chopin and Moszkowski, a test pressing of Sirotti's arrangement of Saint-Saëns' "The Swan," and a recording of the best of 1924 at the time, the The first movement of the "Piano Concerto No. 2" with Stokowski, recorded in 1924 using the best technology available at the time, has never been released to the public.
