Latvian pianist Vestard Shimkus takes us on a journey to the core of Rachmaninoffs music both at its most brilliant and secretive. From the famous Piano Sonata No. 2 in its original version to the more uncommon Variations of a Theme of Chopin, to three of the most extraordinary Preludes of Opus 32, Shimkus reveals a clear and powerful style with a strong lyrical side. A truly astounding, mind-blowing album and a musician with exceptional eloquence.
