Martin Cotton - BBC Music magazine - May 2021

Performance **** Recording *****

“… In the five Études-Tableaux by Rachmaninov, Resphighi’s alchemy lends coloristic allure and an amplified sense of atmosphere to the piano originals. Rachmaninov found the results ‘amazing’, and BIS’s vivid recorded sound adds an extra tingle factor.”

Terry Blain - BBC Music magazine - May 2021

Performance ***** Recording ****

“… Rattle’s wonderfully fluid approach, his magisterial control of rubato and keen sensitivity to all the different colours in this opulently scored work all combine to produce an interpretation that keeps you engaged from the first bar to last. Rattle shows a firm grip of the symphonic narrative …”

Covid-19: Update: 17th Feb 2021

During the current unprecedented situation, Chandos Records continues to trade as normally as possible. As many of our staff are working remotely, we would ask you to submit any queries online here rather than by telephone. CD orders are being despatched on the next working day, but understandably due to the pandemic delivery times will vary and take significantly longer than usual, depending on your location. Please note there are also countries ‘on suspension’ by UK’s Royal Mail. Following Brexit EU customers should view this page regarding taxation. We thank you for your understanding.
