Paganini's Capricci served as inspiration for many composers. In addition to Brahms, Schumann and Liszt, Rachmaninoff was also inspired by the idea. His Rhapsody on a Theme by Paganini has since become one of his best known and most popular works and was an immediate success. In 1934, between two intense concert seasons, Rachmaninoff took advantage of the peace and quiet at his villa on Lake Lucerne to compose the Variations. Paganini's virtuosity and joy of playing are juxtaposed with the Gregorian sequence Dies irae. A symbol of the evil spirit to which Paganini sold his soul? At least that is how Rachmaninoff wrote it in a letter to the choreographer Fokine. For the demanding piano part, the composer and celebrated pianist himself had to start practicing very early: The composition is very difficult, and I should really start practicing now, but I get lazier with my finger exercises year after year.The editor, Norbert Gertsch, presents with this edition for the first time an Urtext edition of the work that Joachim Kaiser described as Rachmaninoff's most spiritual, witty, elegant work for piano..

Vielen gilt er als der grosste Sinfoniker des zwanzigsten Jahrhunderts. Alle, die ihn gekannt und erlebt haben, waren von seienr Personlichkeit fasziniert. Er wurde leidenschaftlich geliebt, bewundert und beneidet, vergottert und gehasst, kaum jemanden aber liess er gleichgultig: Gustav Mahler. Anhand von zum Teil bisher unveroffentlichten Texten von Zeitgenossen, Dokumenten und Fotos zeichnet Norman Lebrecht ein lebendiges und komplexes Bild des Menschen und Kunstlers Gustav Mahler. Mehr als achtzig Kollegen, Kritiker, Sanger, Musiker und Familienmitglieder - unter ihnen Rudolf Bing, Sigmund Freud, Otto Klemperer, Alma Mahler, Thomas Mann, Sergej Rachmaninow, Arnold Schonberg und Stefan Zweig - beschreiben, wie sie den grossen Komponisten und Dirigenten auf seinem Lebensweg vom bescheidenen Elternhaus in Bohmen bis zur Wiener Hofoper erlebt haben. Aus Briefen und Kritiken, Gesprachsprotokollen und autobiographischen Skizzen erschliesst sich dem Leser das authentische und faszinierende Lebensbild eines grossen Kunstlers, der wie kein zweiter die Musik unseres Jahrhunderts gepragt hat.
