Rachmaninov
Complete Études-Tableaux: |
Released on CHANDOS (catalogue number CHAN 10391) in November 2006. "…there’s little doubt that Hayroudinoff’s warmly recorded interpretations are not only brilliantly characterised and absolutely masterly in terms of technique, but also sufficiently varied in colour and timbre to enable him to extract the maximum degree of impact throughout each piece - an extra dimension that makes his performances sound even more vibrant and imaginative…whilst conveying more vividly the increasing desperation that engulfs the music. Benchmark recording."

Dvorak Piano concerto/Violin concerto
BBC Philharmonic Orchestra, conductor Gianandrea Noseda, violinist James Ehnes: |
Released on Chandos (catalogue number CHAN 10309) in May 2005. "It says much for the Russian pianist Rustem Hayroudinoff that he gives such a commanding performance of the Dvorak Piano Concerto… just as dazzling and just as electrically compelling. Hayroudinoff even more than Richter brings out the joyful, carefree quality of Dvorak's inspiration, demonstrating what a wonderful fund of good melodies it contains. The clarity of his articulation in the trickiest passagework is phenomenal, and his phrasing in the central Andante Sostenuto is limpidly beautiful, even warmer than that of Richter. …an outstanding modern version." (Gramophone, July 2005) |

| Shostakovich Symphony No.4, Op. 43 arranged by the composer for two pianos (with Colin Stone): |
Released on Chandos (catalogue number CHAN 10296) in March 2005, this is a premiere recording in this version. "That this is a major Shostakovich release goes without saying, but, more than that, it will hopefully lead to frequent hearings, during the composer's centenary year and beyond, of what is here revealed as an absorbing and perceptive transcription." (International Record Review, May 2005) "Revelatory version of a spectacular 20th-century orchestral masterwork. Hayroudinoff and Stone impress with their knowledge of the score, giving a well-prepared, gutsy performance…"

Rachmaninov Works for Cello and Piano
(with Alexander Ivashkin): |
Released on Chandos (catalogue number CHAN 10095) in February 2004. "Rustem Hayroudinoff proves himself to be a player in the great Russian virtuoso tradition." (Gramophone, London) "As far as Rachmaninov's 'complete' cello music goes, this is the best I have heard." (American Record Guide, NY) "Rachmaninoff clearly wrote the piano part with his own formidable capabilities in mind, but Hayroudinoff meets both the technical and emotive challenges ably." (Pianist, London)

Rachmaninov 24 Preludes: |
Released on Chandos (catalogue number CHAN 10107) in August 2003. "Beautifully lyrical playing from Russian pianist Rustem Hayroudinoff… He really imbues these works with passion and intensity. It sounds as if every note is special to him. Hayroudinoff’s playing combines power with control and lacks any of the over-sentimentality or self-indulgence that is often associated with Rachmaninoff’s works. This full-priced recording for Chandos should certainly win him new friends." (BBC Radio3 CD Reviews)

Shostakovich Theatre Music - Premiere Recordings: |
Released on Chandos (catalogue number CHAN 9907) in April 2001. "Rustem Hayroudinoff’s fresh, intelligent and tremendously witty playing makes this a CD I’d give anyone for Christmas. This young Russian is clearly a deep-thinking, independent and very characterful artist and concert halls should book him, fast. But also, he has unearthed some real gems in these pieces of incidental music by Shostakovich, the vast majority of which are heard on disc here for the first time. The total effect is a breath of fresh air."

Released on Live Notes |
(catalogue number WWCC-7328) in 1999 in Japan. "Apart from the brilliant technique his performance on this CD displays the lyricism unusual for many Russian musicians..." (Musica Nova,Tokyo); "...a splendid CD of Rachmaninov’s Second Piano Sonata… It’s a performance that makes as constructive a case for this suicidally disposed work as you could imagine, showing a penetrating intelligence served by a strong technique." (The Independent, London) |
