Program Notes & Works
Piano Concerto No. 3 in D minor, Opus 30
For pianists, Rachmaninoff’s Third Piano Concerto stands as the ultimate challenge. Its herculean technical demands, titanic scale, and emotional richness scared off such seasoned virtuosi as Joseph Lhévinne, Arthur Rubinstein, and Sviatoslav Richter.
Symphonic Dances
Rachmaninoff's last works, including Symphonic Dances, reveal tighter, clearer musical structure while still exhibiting his gifts for lush orchestration and memorable, heart-melting melodies.
