Olga Kern comes from a long line of distinguished Russian musicians—her great-grandmother was a soprano who sang with Rachmaninov. Named Gold Medalist at the 11th Van Cliburn International Piano Competition in 2001, she is heard here in a dazzling program of Rachmaninov piano transcriptions, his Corelli Variations, and the Liszt Hungarian Rhapsody No.2 (with Rachmaninov’s cadenza transcribed from his own recordings) — performances by turns soulful and breathtaking.
