Prokofiev’s Piano Concerto No. 2 is the composer's most demanding work in this genre. Both technically and mentally, it represents a significant challenge for the soloist.

Since Beethoven's time, every composer has done their very best when it comes to their symphonies No. 9. Bruckner, who worked with meticulousness and significant consideration, tried to create something extraordinary in his Symphony No. 9. If we asked the two masters themselves, which piano concerto and which symphony they would recommend, it is most likely they would also pick these.
