Rachmaninov’s piano works, and in particular his Second Piano Concerto, have fired the enthusiasm of music lovers throughout the world. Following the success of his first visit to Britian in 1899, Rachmaninov was invited by the Philharmonic Society to return and play his First Piano Concerto, which he had composed eight years earlier as a student at the Moscow Conservatorie. He replied that he would prefer to write a better one that would be worthier of London's attention. The immense popularity which this second Piano Concerto has enjoyed for more than half a century testifies to his success.
