Rachmaninoff: Piano Concerto Nos. 2 & 3 / Simon, Slatkin, St. Louis Symphony

Sergey Rachmaninov's concertos for piano and orchestra continue to be his most successful compositions together with his second symphony. The piano concerto No. 3 belongs to the most demanding repertoire ever written for this genre. The composer himself cited it as his favorite. Abbey Simon was a pianist in the great Romantic tradition. (Vox Classics)
