Sergei Rachmaninoff - Klavierkonzerte Nr.2 & 3 - Naxos Deutschland

The unforgettable scenes of Rachmaninov's homeland illuminate the romance and beauty of his famed Piano Concertos Nos. 2 and 3.
This volume of the NAXOS MUSICAL JOURNEY takes us outside the great cities to the majestic Ai-Petri Mountains and the rocky shore of the Black Sea; from the haunting stillness of the Russian landscape blanketed by winter to the opulent Summer Palace of Tsar Paul I, from the drama of the Swallow's Nest built on a cliff-top at Cape Ai-Todor to spectacular churches and palaces; visit Yalta and the museum home of celebrated playwright Anton Chekhov; this is the world rich in beauty and culture that inspired the musical genius of Rachmaninov.
