Piano Concerto No.2 in C minor
Sergei Rachmaninoff
1
Non-mover. 3 years in a row at Number 1. The highest of Rachmaninov's 5 entries.
Rachmaninov's Piano Concerto No. 2 is often described as the greatest ever written. The critics were enthralled when it was composed in 1900. Glorious melody after glorious melody flowed from the keyboard, the dialogue between orchestra and soloist was divine and Rachmaninov undoubtedly had a hit on his hands.
