Rachmaninoff Piano Concertos 1 & 2 with The Wanamaker Organ
At the world's largest musical instrument, the Wanamaker organ of 464 ranks located in the famous Philadelphia department store (now Macy's), Peter Richard Conte plays the "orchestra" to Jeremy Filsell's brilliant pianism at the Steinway in the beloved Piano Concertos No. 1 and No. 2 composed by Sergei Rachmaninoff, who emigrated with his wife and daughter to America from his native Russia in December 1917 as life there became dangerous following the Russian Revolution. No stranger to Philadelphia, Rachmaninoff famously recorded his piano concertos with the Philadelphia orchestra and conducted some of his symphonic music.
