Piano Concertos nos. 1 & 2
Album by Sergei Vasilievich Rachmaninoff & Zoltán Kocsis & San Francisco Symphony & Edo de Waart
Piano Concertos Nos. 1 & 2 are piano concertos by Russian composer Sergei Rachmaninoff, composed in 1891 and 1901 respectively. They exemplify late-Romantic piano concerto writing with expansive, virtuosic piano parts, rich harmonic language and sweeping orchestral textures, and they document Rachmaninoff's early development from youthful experimentation to the more assured melodic and structural approach that characterised his later works.
