BBC Symphony Orchestra, conductor Alexander Lazarev from the Royal Albert Hall, London.
Since his British debut in 1987, Alexander Lazarev has worked closely with the BBC Symphony Orchestra. Here he partners a pianist whose career has gone from strength to strength since his success in the 1982 Tchaikovsky Competition in Moscow. Written during the late 1870s, Tchaikovsky's less well-known Second Piano Concerto was premiered in New York in 1881. Rachmaninov's Symphonic Dances - his last orchestral work - were also written in America.
