Piano Concerto No. 2 / Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini, Op 43

Album by Sergei Vasilievich Rachmaninoff & Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra & Leonard Slatkin & Abbey Simon

This recording pairs two orchestral works by Sergei Rachmaninov, composed in 1901 and 1934. They exemplify late-Romantic piano writing and expansive orchestral textures, combining virtuosic solo passages, broad lyrical melodies and dense harmonic language that contributed to Rachmaninov's mature style and to the early 20th-century concerto repertoire.
