Review
Rakhmania for two pianos is a tribute to Rachmaninov. It was an expansion and elaboration of Rachmaninov's Prelude in B flat major (Opus 23 No. 2), playing on the canon-like quality of its main theme. This thundering number was both a deconstruction and a conflation. Bells sounds filled the air, bringing a most unsual piano recital to a satifying close.
