Rachmaninov's flamboyant third piano concerto is perhaps one of the greatest tests for any virtuoso. If you recognise it from the film Shine, then enjoy this performance from one of the leading exponents of Russian piano music, Peter Donohoe. Ottorino Respighi, a pupil of Rimsky-Korsakov, greatly admired the work of Rachmaninov and pays homage to him in Études tableaux, followed by the Italian composer's penultimate contribution to our 2010-11 season, Pines of Rome.
