Rachmaninov: Piano Concertos Nos. 2 & 3 - Acoustic Reality Experience

Overview

The Russian State Symphony Orchestra conducted by Dmitry Yablonsky featuring pianist Konstantin Scherbakov performing Rachmaninov Piano Concertos Nos. 2 and 3. Konstantin Scherbakov's endless repertoire accomplishments continue to amaze. Specialising in virtuoso repertoire, much of it previously considered unplayable, Scherbakov has been called 'modern Rachmaninov' and has gained international acclaim for his performances of Liszt's transcriptions of the Beethoven symphonies. One of the most popular romantic concertos of all time, Rachmaninov's Piano Concerto No. 2, immortalized in the film Brief Encounter, is memorable for its bravura writing, profusion of long, surging melodies and luxuriant orchestration. The Piano Concerto No. 3, featured in the film Shine, is technically even more demanding and takes romantic virtuoso concerto to its absolute peak. Recorded in Moscow State Broadcasting and Recording House in Surround Sound at 24bit High Definition Audio.
