A rip-roaring Russian roller-coaster ride of breathtaking piano virtuosity. You’re unlikely to find a better guide than the magnificent Oleg Marshev, who has here put together a wonderful, and generous, programme of musical rarities. In the case of Rimsky-Korsakov and Scriabin, it is the concertos which are rare, rather than the composers themselves, while the grand, grand concerto by Pavel Pabst qualifies on both fronts. Truly, a feast of late-romantic pianism, and with a free Danacord catalogue included.
