Weissenberg, Karajan - Rachmaninoff: Piano Concerto No. 2: II. Adagio sostenuto (Excerpt)

Watch Alexis Weissenberg play the lyrical Adagio sostenuto from Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 2 with the Berliner Philharmoniker under Herbert von Karajan as we celebrate the work's full premiere 125 years ago in Moscow, on 27 October 1901. In that performance Rachmaninoff himself was the soloist. This performance was filmed at the Philharmonie Berlin in 1973, with Karajan himself serving as video director. Watch the full concerto on our streaming service STAGE+: https://www.stage-plus.com/video/vod_concert_APNM8GRFDPHMASJKBSQJ4CO Bulgarian virtuoso Alexis Weissenberg is the soloist in this performance of one of the best-known piano concertos in the repertory: Rachmaninoff's sweepingly melodic and quintessentially Romantic Piano Concerto No.2. He joins Herbert von Karajan and the Berliner Philiharmoniker – filmed at their home in the Philharmonie in Berlin – in an account rare for its integration of soloist and orchestra and for the symphonic coherence of the conductor's vision. Karajan himself was the video director, and his innovative approach to capturing the performance on film is matched by music making of the highest calibre.
