With Michael Korstick, OehmsClassics has released about fifteen albums, including a set with Beethoven sonatas which was applauded on all sides. With his first Rachmaninoff recording he once more demonstrates his inspired ability to empathize completely with the composer in question. The Janacek Philharmonic Ostrava under Dmitry Liss proves an excellent accompanist. This album is completed by the Corelli Variations, recorded in February 2018, and the Piano Sonata No. 2, recorded much earlier. Michael Korstick was born in Cologne, Germany in 1955. He studied with Hans Leygraf and Tatiana Nikolayeva and completed his professional training at The Juilliard School in New York where he was a scholarship student of Sascha Gorodnitzki for seven years. A prizewinner in many prestigious international competitions, Korstick is concertizing in major venues around the globe with a repertoire including 130 works for piano and orchestra. More than 50 award-winning albums have earned him a reputation as one of Germany's leading pianists.

Elisabet Strid began her international career in 2010 at the Norwegian National Opera in Oslo as Elisabeth in Tannhauser. Since then her career has skyrocketed, and she is a frequently invited guest at all the world's great opera houses. In 2017 the artist made her debut in France as Senta in The Flying Dutchman at the Opera de Lille, and as Salome at the Leipzig Opera. She also sang the role of Senta at the Cape Town Opera, and of Sieglinde in The Valkyrie at the Chicago Lyric Opera. Future engagements will include interpretations of the roles of Brunnhilde, Salome and Elisabeth at the Leipzig Opera, Senta at the Wagner Days in Budapest and Sieglinde at the Rhine Opera in Dusseldorf-Duisburg. Her debut as Marietta in Die tote Stadt is planned for the Helsinki National Opera. The present recording is therefore a magnificent visiting card of a great artist at the peak of her abilities.
