As a part of his partnership with the Sergei Rachmaninoff Foundation, Mr. Matsuev performs and records unknown pieces of Rachmaninoff on the composer's own piano at the Rachmaninoff house “Villa Senar” in Lucerne. This unique programme has been accepted by the audience with great delight, and now it enjoys success throughout the whole world. In December 2007, Sony BMG (RCA Red Seal Records) released a disc named “Unknown Rachmaninoff” featuring Denis Matsuev, which has received very positive comments of the audience praising Matsuev´s technical skills and creativity.

His recital at Carnegie Hall in November 2007 was released in 2008 as an album entitled “Denis Matsuev – Concert at Carnegie Hall”. And so he won critical acclaim in The New York Times, who wrote: “His poetic instincts held fast in tender moments, with trills as thrillingly precise as one might ever hope to hear.” In December 2009, the new Mariinsky Label released Rachmaninoff Concerto No. 3, which was performed by Denis Matsuev together with Valery Gergiev and the Mariinsky Orchestra in the Mariinsky Concert Hall in St. Petersburg, Russia.
