Piano Concertos nos. 1 & 2

Album by Sergei Vasilievich Rachmaninoff & Krystian Zimerman & Boston Symphony Orchestra & Seiji Ozawa

Piano Concertos Nos. 1 & 2 are orchestral works by Russian composer Sergei Rachmaninov, composed in 1891 and 1901 respectively. The concertos exemplify late-Romantic Russian piano concerto writing — featuring sweeping melodies, rich harmonies and virtuosic piano writing — and represent key works in Rachmaninov's early output and staples of the Romantic concerto repertoire.
