Sergei Rachmaninov: Concerto no. 2 in c minor op. 18: Piano: Instrumental WorkConcerto no. 2 in c minor op. 18 for Piano and Orchestra-Rachmaninoff s legendary Opus 18 often lovingly referred to as Rach 2 is for many the epitome of the Romantic piano concerto. Following its acclaimed premiere in Moscow in 1901 it proved to be a show-stopper around the globe finally helping cement Rachmaninoff s international reputation as a composer. To this day the concerto s enchanting themes and elegiac melodies in the strings are considered the trademark of Rachmaninoff indeed of Russian music in general. For the first Urtext edition of this pivotal work we were able to examine the original autograph score in Moscow s Glinka Museum. Rachmaninoff s own sound recordings were also consulted. The newly prepared pianoreduction ensures good playability: it accords exactly with the also newly edited orchestral score and parts. Both of these are available from Breitkopf and H rtel.
