S. Rachmaninov - Lieder Und Romanzen - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

The Swiss composer Émile Jaques-Dalcroze (1865-1950) is best remembered for his development of Eurhythmics, which teaches the appreciation of music through movement. This first-ever complete recording of all his German-language Lieder - setting folksongs as well as more recent Romantic poetry - shows him bridging both French and German traditions with a style somewhere between Fauré and Brahms. Written early in Jaques-Dalcroze's career, these songs span a wide range of emotions, from innocent rural idylls to the contemplation of existential pain and heartache.

Although Rubinstein did not play many works by Rachmaninov, he made four recordings of the Piano Concerto No. 2.
