For me, too, a pianist entirely unknown to me before this - and on the evidence of this recording, I simply cannot account for how that could be.
Absolutely astounding! Sigier's realizing of Rachmaninov's ideas and narrative truly qualifies for the term "consummate", IMO - a term I could not apply to any of the other performances of the work I've heard hitherto.
Doubtless it's unnecessary to say I shall be avidly searching for Sigier recordings hereafter, and I can't thank you enough for sharing this video, jon-nyc!

Yeah right? How have we not heard of this guy? This recording is just superb. Most interpretations seem to be 'about' managing the technical difficulties. He's well beyond that.
