RACHMANINOV, S.: Piano Concertos Nos. 2 and 3 (Jandó, Biret, Budapest Symphony, Polish National Radio Symphony, Lehel, Wit)

Rachmaninov’s piano concertos are epitomes of Russian Romantic music. From the fierce melancholy of its introduction, to the breathless virtuosity of its outer movements or its haunting central Adagio, the Second Piano Concerto is justly revered. No less powerfully sweeping, however, is the fearsome Third.
