  • When he quotes Rachmaninov asking him "Please, Benno...play my scherzo", what patronimic does he give himself, Benno Edvardovich? I can't quite make it out.

  • Great insight! Thank you for sharing this.

  • Benno describes the famous one take Mendelssohn scherzo recording. Truly an amazing document!

  • Is he here speaking with Abram Chasins? What an enlightening and fascinating interview! Thanks so much for posting it.

  • Amazing!!! Thank you so so much!!!!!!!

  • What a fascinating story. And you know, he's right; Moieivitsch's recording of the Scherzo IS better than Rachmaninoff's (though of course R's is brilliant as well). Both recordings are on youtube; if you haven't heard them you're missing out.

  • amazing thank you for this :)

  • what a fascinating interview...and what would be even more wonderful was that if rachmaninoff had recorded ALL the works in his repertoire.

    the scriabin concerto, the schumann concerto, the liszt sonata, what a shame we have none of these!
