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

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.
