Piano Concerto No. 2 in C minor, Op. 18- No. 1, Moderato

My favorite piano concerto! I love the expression on the pianist's face: Hélène Grimaud. Pure concentration! If you don't know Hélène Grimaud, check out her official website clicking here.


Amazingly, Rachmaninov had a very hard life. Not financially, but emotionally: his closest friends died and no one could understand his music. Not even Tolstoi himself (which shows that no matter how smart you are, you can still make terrible judgements).



Nothing more to say. Just listen and enjoy!
