Études-Tableaux

Album by Sergei Vasilievich Rachmaninoff & Howard Shelley

Études-Tableaux is a set of solo piano études by Sergei Rachmaninov, composed between 1911 (Op. 33) and 1917 (Op. 39). These pieces combine late-Romantic virtuosity with dense, orchestral textures and vividly chromatic, often sombre harmonies, reflecting a mature phase in Rachmaninov's piano writing that bridges his Romantic roots and evolving modernist tendencies.
First released: May 1988
