Episode 17 - Superhuman Virtuosity
‘Piano Concerto no. 2’ by Sergei Rachmaninoff is a vehicle for virtuosic performance. It requires the pianist to display superhuman levels of physical prowess! In this episode I share insights into the piece, I discuss pianos, and we explore virtuosity in classical music. This episode features the first movement from ‘Piano Concerto no. 2’ by the composer Sergei Rachmaninoff . I recommend the recording featuring the pianist Leif Ove Andsnes, with the Berlin Philharmonic conducted by Antonio Pappano. Further information: https://www.athousandpictures.com/episode17.
