Kapell's 1951 Paganini Rhapsody Posted by Steve Luciani on September 18, 2024, 7:08 pm In case you missed... Rachmaninoff Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini, Op. 43 William Kapell, pianist Fritz Reiner, conductor The Robin Hood Dell Orchestra Recorded on June 27, 1951 at The Academy of Music, Philadelphia What a performance, beautifully restored, IMHO! The piano sounds great.
