FIRST Recording of SERGEI RACHMANINOFF playing Rhapsody on a the by Paganini Op 43 for Piano with the Philadelphia Orchestra under Leopold Stokowski. This recording is interesting, because Stoki chose not to have hard cuts, but fading in for each overlapping side.
Rachmaninoff himself, a noted interpreter of his own works, played the solo piano part at the piece's premiere at the Lyric Opera House in Baltimore, Maryland, on November 7, 1934 with the Philadelphia Orchestra, conducted by Leopold Stokowski. Rachmaninoff, Stokowski, and the Philadelphia Orchstra made the first recording, on December 24, 1934, at RCA Victor's Trinity Church Studio in Camden, New Jersey.
