Rachmaninov & Prokofiev: Piano Concerto #2

Denis Matsuev, Mariinsky Orchestra, Valery Gergiev

Born less than 20 years apart, Rachmaninov and Prokofiev were two of the greatest composer-pianists of the 20th Century. While their styles have sometimes been subject to interpretative clichés, what cannot be argued is that the piano occupied a central position in their music. In this recording, Denis Matsuev contrasts their second piano concertos, pieces that are both formidable and unmistakably Russian.
