Sergei Rachmaninoff (pianist)

Biography (read more)

Sergei Vasilyevich Rachmaninoff (1 April [O.S. 20 March] 1873 – 28 March 1943) is carried here as a performer: a concert pianist whose own playing survives on records and reproducing-piano rolls. Wikipedia describes him as “a Russian composer, virtuoso pianist, and conductor” who “is widely considered one of the finest pianists of his day”, and Britannica calls him “a leading piano virtuoso of his time”. Trained in Moscow under the disciplinarian Nikolay Zverev and then at the Moscow Conservatory, he made his American pianistic debut on 28 November 1909 with the New York Symphony under Walter Damrosch. After leaving Russia in 1917 he lived in Switzerland and the United States and, in Britannica’s words, “devoted himself almost entirely to concertizing in the United States and Europe, a field in which he had few peers.” His recording career began in 1919 with a ten-side contract for Edison Records’ Diamond Discs; dissatisfied with Edison’s handling of takes he left as soon as the contract ended, and in 1920 signed with the Victor Talking Machine Company (later RCA Victor), recording for them until the American Federation of Musicians’ recording ban of 1942. In parallel he cut 35 piano rolls for the American Piano Company’s Ampico reproducing piano between March 1919 and about February 1929, begun at the suggestion of his friend Fritz Kreisler. He recorded all four of his own piano concertos with the Philadelphia Orchestra – Nos. 1, 3 and 4 with Eugene Ormandy in 1939-41, and the Second twice with Leopold Stokowski (1924 and 1929) – together with the Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini under Stokowski, taped soon after its 1934 premiere. He died in Beverly Hills on 28 March 1943, aged 69.

As a pianist Rachmaninoff is one of the most completely documented of the great virtuosos of the acoustic and early electric eras, and his discs are read as primary evidence rather than as a sideline to his composing. Wikipedia ranks him among the finest pianists of his time alongside Godowsky, Friedman, Rosenthal, Josef Lhevinne, Busoni and Hofmann, and describes a style “marked by precision, rhythmic drive, notable use of staccato and the ability to maintain clarity when playing works with complex textures” – a definition of texture that only Hofmann and Lhevinne shared. Arthur Rubinstein wrote of being “always under the spell of his glorious and inimitable tone”. His readings of Schumann’s Carnaval and Chopin’s Second (Funeral March) Sonata are singled out as particularly renowned, and Barrie Martyn has matched his recorded Chopin sonata against written accounts of Anton Rubinstein’s playing, making the disc a link back to a pianist who left none. Because 29 of the works he cut as Ampico rolls also exist as gramophone recordings, the two series can be set side by side as evidence of his consistency of interpretation. His concerto records are the composer’s own authority on his most-played music: they remain the reference against which pianists’ Second and Third Concertos and the Paganini Rhapsody are still measured, and they were gathered by RCA into the 10-CD Sergei Rachmaninoff: The Complete Recordings. He also left duo records with Fritz Kreisler – Beethoven’s Op. 30 No. 3, Schubert’s D. 574 and Grieg’s Op. 45 – among the most admired chamber recordings of the 1920s.
