Composer:
Sergei Rachmaninov

Artist(s):
William Kapell

Background: A virtuoso pianist of the mid-twentieth century, William Kapell's brooding good looks and explosive interpretations of Russian piano literature made him a star. His death in a plane crash at the age of 31 put an end to a career marked by fiery personality, technical mastery, and unstinting devotion to his craft.

Many considered him the first virtuoso American pianist - certainly the most famous one until Van Cliburn - whose early death denied him more enduring popularity. These recordings are a stirring reminder of the talent upon which his fame rested during his lifetime.

This digitally remastered two-disc set - the latest in Sony BMG Masterworks’ reDiscovered series - compiles performances from four of the concerts on Kapell’s tour of Australia and makes them available for the first time as a lasting tribute to the incredible talent and influence of William Kapell.
