II. Non allegro - attaca -

Revised in 1931.
BBC Music Magazine 5 stars: 'The disc is a winner all the way'; Penguin Guide 3 stars, outstanding; Music Web International: 'In short, this is a superb disc. Kempf's pianism is often like a tsunami, swelling with both passion and poetry. The technique is superb, the understanding of Rachmaninov's image-fuelled writing often more so. The sounds he gets from the Yamaha piano are amongst the most convincing I have heard from this instrument, the recording very natural. A winning disc'.
