PIANO CONCERTO NO. 3 OP. 30in D minorPublisher: Boosey & HawkesScoreComposer: Sergei Rachmaninoff142 pages

2nd Movement-Transcription of the slow movement of Rachmaninov's First Piano Concerto op 1. Programme note by Murray McLachlan: Rachmaninov's first concerto in F sharp minor op 1 was composed in 1891 and dedicated to Alexander Siloti. The work was substantially revised in 1917 with textures made much lighter. The revised version is also more concentrated and disciplined with the material eliminating some of the earlier episodic sections entirely from the score. The second movement is an exquisite 74 bar miniature a nostalgic nocturne that is contrapuntally rich. In this soloversion the use of all three pedals and the middle pedal in particular make it possible to project the multifaceted textures the 'colour counter-point' that along with Rachmaninov's chromaticism enhances his considerable melodic gifts. Was Rachmaninov the 'Russian Bach?' Certainly his genius for 'inner voices' 'inner melodies' and counter-melodies make his music an inexhaustible treasure house of possibility for the creatively charged solo pianist. In Rachmaninov's piano writing there is simply no such thing as 'padding' or anonymous accompaniments- every line can be vocally or orchestrally charged making the music glow with richness and inspiration. This transcription was given its world premiere on April 1- Rachmaninov's birthday- in 2017 in New York as part of a recital for the Lezetizky society. Further performances were given on what was an intense US Easter tour in Washington Texas Boston and Vermont. I've also performed the transcription in Canada and the UK.

Concerto no. 2 in c minor op. 18 for Piano and Orchestra-Rachmaninoff???s legendary Opus 18 often lovingly referred to as Rach 2 ??? is for many the epitome of the Romantic piano concerto. Following its acclaimed premiere in Moscow in 1901 it proved to be a show-stopper around the globe finally helping cement Rachmaninoff???s international reputation as a composer. To this day the concerto???s enchanting themes and elegiac melodies in the strings are considered the trademark of Rachmaninoff indeed of Russian music in general. For the first Urtext edition of this pivotal work we were able to examine the original autograph score in Moscow???s Glinka Museum. Rachmaninoff???s own sound recordings were also consulted. The newly prepared pianoreduction ensures good playability: it accords exactly with the also newly edited orchestral score and parts. Both of these are available from Breitkopf and H?rtel.

Opus 23 Nr. 4-Rachmaninoff?s Prélude in D major from his op. 23 collection is a wonderfully dreamy nocturne in the style of Chopin.

The Henle Urtext editions of Rachmaninoff?s music are based on the autograph sources in the Glinka Archive in Moscow. The fingerings areby Marc-André Hamelin who is both one of the exceptional pianists of our day and also an expert in Russian late-Romantic piano music.

Rachmaninoff?s music for the All-Night Vigil service ? long known inaccurately as his ?Vespers? ? is a masterpiece in its own right. It draws on centuries-old Orthodox chant and the performance tradition of Russian folk music and embodies the ideal of Russian church music championed by a group of Moscow musicians of the time. In this All-Night Vigil the great composer-pianist-conductor has allied his own imagination skill and experience with the expertise built up at the Synodal School of Church Music ? not least by its choir which gave the first performances at several Moscowconcerts.   This edition has been carefully prepared to present Rachmaninoff?s music in a clear and easily readable format and also offers a new transliteration of the Church Slavonic text. For the first time an audio pronunciation guide is provided online which will prove indispensable for choirs wishing to perform this most beautiful of masterpieces.   In the November/December issue of Choir

Alongside HN 1264 (the Etude in e flat minor op. 39 5) Henle are now offering the Etude In C Major in a single edition taken from their much-loved complete edition of the 17 Études-Tableaux. Rachmaninoff greatly valued this work often included it in his concert programmes and also recorded it. A longing melody unfolds over a simple accompaniment. This charming piece that alternates between major and minoris a good technical exercise for the crossing over of the hands but does not contain nearly as many difficulties as Rachmaninoff?s other etudes and is thus also manageable by advanced amateurs. They will be aided in theHenle Urtext edition by the helpful fingerings provided by the virtuoso Marc-André Hamelin.
