The album Concerto No 2 Rhapsody On A Theme By Paganini 3 Preludes by Rachmaninoff Shostakovich William Kapell is a masterpiece of classical music. The album features some of the most celebrated works of these three legendary composers, performed by the virtuoso pianist William Kapell.

Kapell's interpretation of Rachmaninoff's Concerto No. 2 is particularly noteworthy, as he brings a unique sense of depth and emotion to the piece. His playing is both technically flawless and deeply expressive, capturing the complex emotions of the music perfectly.
