Martin James Bartlett plays Rachmaninoff: Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini, Op. 43: Variation 18

Pianist Martin James Bartlett enters the musical world of Rhapsody in a program dedicated to virtuosic jazz-infused classical works by Gershwin and Rachmaninoff, with Joshua Weilerstein and the London Philharmonic Orchestra. Discover the album: https://w.lnk.to/rrgLY

The album centers around two celebrated works: Rachmaninoff's Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini and Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue. The term "rhapsody" suggests a certain freedom of expression, and for the young British pianist, "it usually refers to a work being episodic in nature. This makes it a very visceral listening experience. All these contrasting elements makes the music very diverse in character, though still maintaining a central theme throughout. This contributes to the structure whilst making the piece seem improvisatory and spontaneous."
