Piano Concerto no. 2 / Paganini Rhapsody

Album by Sergei Vasilievich Rachmaninoff & The Philadelphia Orchestra & Riccardo Muti & Andrei Gavrilov

This release is a compilation of two major works by Russian composer Sergei Rachmaninov, composed in 1901 and 1934. They exemplify late-Romantic piano-and-orchestra writing, characterised by expansive melodies, rich chromatic harmonies and virtuosic piano writing, with the earlier work marking Rachmaninov's creative resurgence after a difficult period and the later piece demonstrating his mature variation technique and concert virtuosity.
