Concertos n°2 and n°3
Album by Sergei Vasilievich Rachmaninoff & Victor Eresko & Государственный академический симфонический оркестр России & Gennady Provatorov
Concertos No. 2 and No. 3 are piano concertos by Sergei Rachmaninov, composed in 1900–01 and 1909 respectively. They exemplify the late-Romantic Russian concerto tradition with sweeping lyrical melodies, dense orchestral textures and demanding virtuosic piano writing, with the second concerto helping to re-establish Rachmaninov's compositional career and the third marking a high point of technical challenge within the piano concerto repertoire.
First released: 1995
