One of the aspects that appeals to this listener about Nikolai Lugansky's approach to the perennial favorite piano concerti of Sergei Rachmaninov is the commitment to the organic feeling of each work. So often these concerti are served up as early career, flamboyant exercises to introduce the young pianist du jour to already accepting audiences. And at times the imprint on the works imposed by the various pianists is what remains in the hall after the performance, not Rachmaninov.
Nikolai Lugansky takes more of the academic approach (not unlike the conducting of Boulez and Salonen among others) to restudy the tired works and hence rediscover the inherent magic. As demonstrated on this fine recording with Sakari Oramo and the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, Lugansky seems as familiar with the orchestral scoring as he is pliant with the piano role. The result is intelligent phrasing, knowing when to hold back and when to thunder forth. In both the lesser-known 1st and the infamous 3rd Lugansky finds the brains and the brawn and the lyricism that is meltingly beautiful. And what an unexpected pleasure to find a pianist paired with the same orchestra for the cycle of four concerti! A superb recording!–Grady Harp
