Piano Concerto no. 2
Album by Sergei Vasilievich Rachmaninoff & Julius Katchen & London Symphony Orchestra & Sir Georg Solti
Piano Concerto No. 2 in C minor, Op. 18, is a piano concerto by Sergei Rachmaninov, composed in 1900–1901 and premiered in 1901. The work exemplifies late-Romantic Russian orchestral and piano writing with sweeping lyrical melodies, rich harmonic language and virtuosic piano passages, and it marked Rachmaninov's return to composition following a period of creative crisis after the reception of his First Piano Concerto.
