Piano Concerto No 2 / Piano Concerto No 3
Byron Janis was an American virtuoso pianist renowned for his Rachmaninoff interpretations. This SACD recording pairs him with conductor Antal Dorati and orchestras including the Minneapolis and London Symphony Orchestras, captured in 2004. Rachmaninoff's Second and Third Piano Concertos are Romantic showpieces—sweeping melodies, lush harmonies, technical fireworks. Janis brings romantic depth and technical mastery to these demanding works. His playing is thoughtful and nuanced, avoiding excessive drama while honoring the music's emotional scope. The orchestral support is rich and responsive. The SACD format captures the warmth and detail of these lush orchestrations beautifully, making this a superb modern interpretation.
