Description
Written between the autumn of 1900 and April 1901, Sergei Rachmaninoff’s Concerto for Piano No. 2 remains one of the composer’s most enduringly popular pieces and cemented his reputation as composer of concerti. It also served as confirmation of the end of Rachmaninoff’s three-year bout with clinical depression and writer’s block that stemmed, in part, from the poor reception by critics of his first symphony in 1897. Instrumentation: Solo Piano: 2.2.2.2: 4.2.3.1: Timp.Perc: Str (9-8-7-6-5 in set).
Instrument: Chamber Orchestra
