Overview

Sergei Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 2 in C Minor, Op. 18, is one of the most iconic works in the piano concerto repertoire. This performance features the legendary William Kapell, whose electrifying playing breathes life into Rachmaninoff's emotionally charged composition. The Robin Hood Dell Orchestra of Philadelphia, conducted by William Steinberg, provides a rich and resonant backdrop to Kapell's virtuosic performance.

Written during a period of personal crisis for Rachmaninoff, the concerto represents a triumph over adversity. The composer, with the help of Dr. Nikolai Dahl, overcame a severe depression to complete the work, which premiered in 1901. The concerto's brilliant and expressive melodies, especially the famous theme in the third movement, have cemented its place as a favorite among audiences and performers alike.
