4 stars for Alexander Romanovsky in The Guardian

Rachmaninov: Etudes-Tableaux Op 39
Rachmaninov: Variations on a theme of Corelli Op 42

Schumann: Symphonic Etudes Op 13
Brahms: Variations on a theme by Paganini Op 35
(Decca)

“Romanovsky's ­account of the Schumann Symphonic Etudes is immensely thoughtful, and ­remains shapely even with his inclusion of the five ”posthumous“ variations.”

“The nine Etudes-Tableaux all have a wonderful sense of poise and poetic integrity, whatever technical demands they make, while the Corelli Variations are sustained in a single sweep. This is very controlled, impressive piano playing.”
