Synopsis of A Window in Time: Rachmaninoff Performs Chopin, Tchaikovsky, and Others

«A Window in Time: Rachmaninoff Performs Chopin, Tchaikovsky, and Others» is the album by Sergei Rachmaninoff, released in 1999 by Telarc, on CD.

Rachmaninoff performs works by Bach, Chopin, Mendelssohn, Paderewski, Schubert and Tchaikovsky, among other composers, in versions taken from his player-piano rolls. Wayne Stahnke recovered these performances using a Bösendorfer 290SE reproducing piano. Among the pieces, Chopin's Scherzo in B-flat minor stands out, with personal phrasing and highly expressive dynamic control.

The album appears in some catalogues as A Window in Time Vol. 2. It is a single disc with reference CD-80491 and 24-bit digital processing.

For classical music and piano enthusiasts, especially those who value historical performances recovered with modern technology.
