Piano Concerto No. 2 / Rhapsody on a theme of Paganini
Album by Sergei Vasilievich Rachmaninoff
Piano Concerto No. 2 / Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini is a pairing of two compositions by Russian composer Sergei Rachmaninoff, composed in 1900–1901 and 1934 respectively. Both works showcase late-Romantic pianistic virtuosity and rich orchestral colour, with the concerto representing a pivotal return to form early in Rachmaninoff's career and the rhapsody demonstrating his later interest in theme-and-variation structure and concise melodic transformation.
