  • Rachmaninoff-Namoradze: Adagio from Symphony No. 2 in E minor, Op. 27
    Nicolas Namoradze, piano

    This recording is from the album "Rachmaninoff, "Refracted", released on the Steinway & Sons label. More info on the album: www.steinway.com/music-and-ar...
    The premiere of Rachmaninoff’s Symphony No. 2 in 1908 cemented his reputation as one of the leading symphonists of his time, and to this day the work remains among his most celebrated musical statements. The third movement, Adagio, is emblematic of many features that define his compositional language, including enchantingly expansive melodies, a rich harmonic palette, searing climaxes and lush, full textures.
    While adhering strictly to the thematic and harmonic material of the original, this arrangement is less a strict transcription and more a reimagining of the movement for the piano, taking a generally liberal approach with reworking the textures in order to create a pianistically idiomatic piece. The piano writing is informed both by Rachmaninoff’s compositional style as well as my own approach to keyboard texture.

    Beautiful! I love the way it inventively combines themes too! Unbelievably gorgeous. Was privileged to hear you perform it live in San Jose for the Steinway Society last month!

    miraculous transcription!
    I bought the score from muse press
    and have been practicing for several weeks
    The 3 hand section is very difficult but matchless
    I would like to know if you work on other works.

      Thank you very much! This is my first arrangement, and will certainly not be my last :) Muse Press has also just published a related work of mine, "Memories of Rachmaninoff's Georgian Song".
