Piano Concertos no. 2 and no. 3

Album by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky & New York Philharmonic & Kurt Masur & Elisabeth Leonskaja

Piano Concertos Nos. 2 and 3 are piano concertos by Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, composed in 1879 and 1893 respectively. The Second is expansive and symphonic in scope with prominent orchestral writing and virtuosic piano passages, while the Third survives largely as a single‑movement, posthumously published fragment that reveals a more concise, late‑Romantic harmonic language; together they illuminate Tchaikovsky's evolving approach to piano–orchestral writing in the later part of his career.
