About

- Sergei Rachmaninoff's (1873-1943) Piano Concerto Nos. 2 and 3 stand as majestic pillars in the concert repertoire. The Piano Concerto No. 2, composed in 1900, embodies a harmonious blend of melancholy and triumph, with its lush melodies and virtuosic piano passages. Rachmaninoff's third concerto, created in 1909, showcases his unparalleled prowess as a pianist and composer. Renowned for its demanding technicality, the piece unfolds in a cascade of passionate themes and rich orchestration. Both concertos are timeless masterpieces that navigate the emotional depth of Romanticism, leaving an indelible mark on the classical repertoire and enchanting audiences with their enduring brilliance.

- “Anna Fedorova’s beautiful sound and natural freedom in making music with total technical security makes for one of the finest Chopin performances I have heard in a long, long time.” - Menahem Pressler, September 2022

- From an early age, the Ukrainian pianist Anna Fedorova showed an innate musical maturity and amazing technical abilities. Her live recording of Rachmaninoff’s 2nd Piano Concerto has over 41 million views on YouTube and is highly acclaimed by critics and world-renowned musicians. She regularly performs at the world’s most prestigious concert halls such as the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, New York's Carnegie Hall & Lincoln Center, Palacio de Bellas Artes in Mexico City, Tonhalle Zürich, Théâtre des Champs-Elysées in Paris, Bunka Kaikan in Tokyo, and London’s Barbican Centre & Royal Albert Hall.

- The orchestra in both concertos is the excellent Nordwestdeutsche Philharmonie.
