24 Preludes

Album by Sergei Vasilievich Rachmaninoff & Steven Osborne

24 Preludes is a collection of piano preludes by Russian composer Sergei Rachmaninoff, completed between 1892 and 1910. The set, covering all major and minor keys, exemplifies Rachmaninoff's late-Romantic harmonic language and virtuosic pianism—ranging from lyrical, song-like passages to dense, technically demanding textures—and occupies a central place in his output for solo piano and in early 20th-century piano repertoire.
