Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 3 has a reputation. It’s one of the most demanding works ever written for piano because it's relentless in its intensity. Stewart Goodyear is a phenomenal pianist who’s more than up for the challenge. He once performed all 32 of Beethoven’s piano sonatas in a single day.

Hear him take on Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 3 tonight on 91.1, 107.5, and our music stream.

Julie Freddino is WSHU's Program Director. She also produces Sunday Baroque.
