In 1906 Rachmaninoff and his family escaped a politically turbulent Russia for Dresden, where he experienced one of the most productive periods of his life. Among its first fruits was his Second Symphony, a work with emotional power, vital rhythms and sumptuous textures. Three years later came his Third Piano Concerto, a combination of lyricism and dazzling virtuosity.
