Background and premiere. Rachmaninoff composed the concerto in Dresden [5] completing it on September 23, 1909. Contemporary with this work are his First Piano Sonata and his tone poem The Isle of the Dead . Owing to its difficulty, the concerto is respected, even feared, by many pianists.
Jan 9, 2010 · By far the most exciting recording of this concerto, or perhaps of any concerto. On fire. Douglas/Svetlanov. Released quietly last year, recorded a decade earlier. Very impressive, especially for Svetlanov's ripe accompaniment. Coupled with a great #1. Wild/Horenstein. This is surely the best set of Rachmaninov concertos (especially the Rhapsody).
