About This Item
With over 35 million views, Anna Fedorova's live performance of Rachmaninoff's 2nd Piano Concerto is the most viewed classical concerto video on YouTube. We are proud to the long-awaited studio recording of this beloved concerto, together with Rachmaninoff's 4th Piano Concerto. InchRachmaninoff wrote his 4th Piano Concerto nine years after emigrating, afterwards it was twice revised by the composer. It represents the change of the era, a farewell to the past and a dive into a quite terrifying future. The 2nd Concerto, however, represents rebirth and resurrection of the spirit, hope and light. Something we all need so much nowadays. I am very grateful to the Sinfonieorchester St. Gallen, conductor Modestas Pitrenas and recording engineer Jared Sacks for the most inspiring days spent together in St. Gallen recording this album!Inch (Anna Fedorova) This album is the follow-up to Anna's 2020 of Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No.1 with the same orchestra and conductor.
