Rachmaninov’s 2nd Piano Concerto
Rachmaninov's Piano Concerto No. 2 in C minor (1901) is one of the most beloved works in the classical repertoire, showcasing a dramatic interplay between solo piano and orchestra. It was composed after the composer overcame a severe creative depression, and its soaring lyrical melodies—especially in the famous second movement—have made it a perennial audience favorite.
