Earl Wild –piano / Jascha Horenstein conducts the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. Many Concertos and Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini & Isle of the Dead This Readers Digest set of "The Romantic Rachmaninoff" is one of the greatest sets of piano concertos of this wonderful composer, that was ever recorded in the stereo era.

Catalog # RDA-29-A in STEREO has always been on Harry Pearsons greatest records list, in The Absolute Sound. There is a reason for that. It is wonderfully recorded by RCA in Europe with Jascha Horenstein conducting the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. The pianist is the excellent Earl Wild done at his recording peak. All of the recordings were done at Walthamstow Town Hall, just outside London England, with the best recording team that Decca had to offer. The producer of these great sets was Charles Gerhardt, and the engineer was Kenneth Wilkinson. Anyone familiar with classical recordings knows that this team ranks right up there with the best in the world. Earl wild is playing a wonderful German Steinway (N0. 695) provided special for these recordings. The pieces played are all four Rachmaninoff concertos, The Rhapsody, and the tone poem "The Isle of the Dead".
