“Rachmaninoff approached musical performance – and composition – with an unusual notion regarding pacing and expression. He felt that any work, no matter its length and scope, had a single dramatic moment that was the goal of all that came before it, the dramatic and musical raison d’être of a piece, and that a proper interpretation was one that made this clear to the listeners…” –Joel Becktell, from the REVEL CD Program Notes
