Piano Concerto no. 2 / Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini
Album by Sergei Vasilievich Rachmaninoff & New York Philharmonic & Leonard Bernstein & Gary Graffman
Piano Concerto No. 2 and Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini are compositions by Sergei Rachmaninoff, composed in 1901 and 1934 respectively. Musically they exemplify his late-Romantic style, combining expansive, lyrical melodies with virtuosic piano writing and rich orchestral textures, and they occupy a central place in his output that highlights both his compositional voice and his career as a pianist-composer.
