CLASSIC CD March 2000 CLASSIC CD CHOICE very impressive playing from a born Rachmaninov interpreter Rachmaninov: Morceaux de fantasie op.3, Sonata n.2 in Bflat minor op.36 (revised version), Variations on a theme of Corelli, op.42. Oleg Marshev / DANACORD DACOCD 525 / 67:18 DDD Oleg Marshev: shows a natural kinship with Russia's greatest composer-pianist  Oleg Marshev scored something of a triumph with his Prokofiev sonata cycle on the Danacord label some years ago both in these columns and elsewhere. He has also recorded the Rubinstein Third and Fourth concertos and the Strauss Piano Sonata for the same label. Listening to these Rachmaninov performances, there is no doubt that he is a player in the grand manner, as befits his Moscow...

GRAMOPHONE April 2000 Rachmaninov Morceaux de fantaisie, Op 3. Piano Sonata No 2 in B flat minor, Op 36 (rev. ver), Variations on a theme of Corelli, Op 42. Oleg Marshev (pf) / Danacord DACOCD525 / 67 DDD Following his highly praised Prokofiev cycle for Danacord, Oleg Marshev turns to Rachmaninov, whom Prokofiev outwardly despised but inwardly admired. Born in Russia but based in Italy, Marshev reveals his roots in every brooding and impassioned bar. Scorning an easy virtuoso aplomb, he takes us to the poetic core of the Second Sonata, a turbulent masterpiece best heard in its original 1913 version rather than the 1931 revision played here.

KLASSIK HEUTE March 2000 Rachmaninoff Morceaux de Fantasie op. 3, Klaviersonate Nr, 2 h-Moll op. 36, Variationen über ein Thema von Corelli op. 42; Oleg Marshev — Klavier / Danacord DACOCD 525 (1999) / 67' Oleg Marshevs lange und eindrucksvolle Liste von Danacord-Einspielungen hat im deutschsprachigen Musikraum nicht dazu geführt, diesen fähigen Künstler auch auf den Podien heimisch zu machen, Immerhin legte er bisher unter anderem das originale Gesamtwerk Prokofieffs vor (DACOCD 391-395) sowie Solowerke von Rachmaninoff [525). An diese ebenso kundige und überlegte wie brillante Aufnahme knüpft der aus Baku stammende Marshev nun mit einer weiteren Rachmaninoff-Auswahl an. Marshev möchte offenbar die Wichtigkeit einer oft als "Salongefummel" diskreditierten Musik betonen, Den herabstürzenden Beginn der Sonate beschreibt Marshev sehr artikuliert,...
