Rachmaninoff's role
Concerto Soloist
Notes
The attached review from the Pittsburgh Press indicates that this was Rachmaninoff's first performance of the Schumann Concerto. The review from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette unfortunately is flawed, and the negative comments by the reviewer about the Schumann Concerto are indecipherable.
