Yuja Wang & Gustavo Dudamel perform Rachmaninoff: Piano Concerto No. 2

Rachmaninoff’s Second Piano Concerto marked his comeback after the failure of his First Symphony and the creative paralysis that followed. And what a comeback! The work was an immediate success and has remained arguably his most popular creation: a sweeping, brooding masterpiece overflowing with unforgettable melodies, and a favourite showpiece for generations of great pianists. Yuja Wang undoubtedly belongs in that company, and in this second instalment of her complete Rachmaninoff cycle with Gustavo Dudamel and the Los Angeles Philharmonic she brings her characteristic brilliance, musical intelligence and authority to a fresh and thrilling account of this Romantic favourite.
