Werk: Sred' shumnogo bala (Amid the din of the ball), Op.38 no. 3

Never mind the piano concerto marathons, 2023 will not see a finer anniversary tribute to Rachmaninov than this song recital.

This is no Liederabend with singers taking their turn to file up to the piano. It’s a fully staged drama in which baritone Vladislav Sulimsky’s character reflects on his past loves and losses.

International duo give immaculate recital of Beethoven, Schubert, Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninov songs.
