First Prize-winner of the International Tchaikovsky Competition in 2015, Dmitry Masleev now presents an all-Rachmaninoff album, featuring the sublime Corelli Variations and Études-Tableaux, alongside some of the composer’s exquisite miniatures, including the relatively early romances 'Zdeskhorosho' and 'Ne poy, krasavitsa', which open a window onto Rachmaninoff’s sumptuous lyricalvein.

Dmitry Masleev introduces the album with these words: “I would be very happy if even just one piece on this album were to spark a genuine interest in a young listener and inspire them to delve further into Sergei Rachmaninoff’s musical world. It reminds me of my school years, when I happened upon a recording of an Étude-Tableau in D minor - a work I had never heard before. I think I listened to it ten times in a row, before setting out to discover every work by Rachmaninoff I could get hold of. From that day on, his music has never left me.”

This album release will coincide with a Rachmaninoff cycle performed by Masleev at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées on the 13th of November 2026.
