Rachmaninoff's suites for two pianos are quite unique in the classical repertoire - a musical language from the height of the romantic period but breaking new ground by utilizing two separate keyboards and pianists for some extraordinary textures!
Pianist Henrik Kilhamn guides you through the composition with its four movements, with presentations interlaced with musical excerpts, the score and some analytical insights.

The recording used in the video is from a performance with Henrik Kilhamn and amazing colleague and collaborator Svetla Tsvetkova, pianist and organist. Check out her Youtube channel here: ‪@svetlatsvetkovaorganist‬
