Piano Concerto no. 2 / Concert Fantasia

Album by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky & Eldar Nebolsin & Michael Stern & New Zealand Symphony Orchestra

This album presents orchestral piano works by Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, originally composed in 1879 and 1885. The music blends late-Romantic piano virtuosity with expansive orchestration and lyrical themes, illustrating Tchaikovsky's expansion of pianistic and orchestral colour and his engagement with both the concerto tradition and freer fantasia-form writing in his mature period.

First released: 9th September 2016
