Piano concertos nos 2 & 3

Description

The two great Piano Concertos at the heart of the romantic repertoire, by pianist Khatia Buniatishvili, whom everyone is now talking about. Since the release in 2012 of her recording of Chopin's Second Concerto, with the Orchestre de Paris and the same conductor as today - Paavo Järvi, we have not had the opportunity to hear Khatia Buniatishvili in Concerto; this is the great appeal of this disc, which offers us, moreover, 2 of the most famous Concertos, this time from the Russian repertoire with Rachmaninov: the Second, known to many music lovers, well beyond the initiated, and the Third, renowned for its extreme virtuosity, both pianistic and orchestral. The Georgian pianist, at just 30 years old, is now one of the greatest artists in classical music, who stands out for the quality of her culture, her fierce independence as well as her volcanic temperament, and her charisma. She is in France notably, known to a very wide audience, who has discovered her many times in the press, on the radio, or on television shows, a regular guest on programs such as "Le Grand Huit," "Stupéfiant," "le petit journal," "Quotidien," or "C'est à vous" in particular.
