Gramophone

This is not merely the final instalment in [Pletnev's] high-profile Rachmaninoff survey but the penultimate disc in the RNO’s current DG series.... The players produce the range of sonority and fabulous clarity of articulation for which they are famous.... Pletnev adds to the distinctiveness of his own package by unveiling a ‘surprise’ coupling [for the Rachmaninoff].
