As indestructible as Rachmaninoff’s C-sharp-minor Prlude (51481211) may be, it is not his only Prlude to have begun a solo career of its own: with its rousing rhythms and rhapsodic middle section, the famous piece in G minor certainly takes its place among them. Pianists who aren’t yet ready to tackle the complete cycle of 24 Prludes (51481200) can still enjoy Rachmaninoff at his best with this work. In conjunction with Moscow’s Glinka Archives, Henle was able to consult the autograph sources for their Urtext edition of the Prludes, which means that this single edition thus also benefits from the Urtext’s excellent editorial and graphic quality. As with all of Henle’s Rachmaninoff editions, the fingerings were once again provided by Marc-Andr Hamelin.
