In his second solo piano recital disc for Signum, this release further demonstrates Alessio Bax’s dazzling skill and flair in performance and interpretation - this time with Rachmaninov’s piano works. The programme is centered around the Preludes op.23, but takes in a broad selection of his other studies, etudes, melodies and transcriptions - in performance, Bax describes the programme as being a collection of ‘visions and landscapes’.

Review:
 

Praise for Alessio’s first solo disc on Signum records (SIGCD156 - Bach Transcribed):
" ... a level of technical control that gives new meaning to the word ‘awesome’ … Furthermore, Bax retains tonal beauty and definition even in the loudest and most sonorous passages"
Gramophone Magazine
" ... the transcriptions can only be mastered by someone with an amazing technique. Audiences still like to be astonished. Alessio Bax astonishes along with the best of them … in short, this disc is a must."
Fanfare Magazine
