...PIANO CONCERTO (Columbia). In 1947 an 18-year-old student with a penchant for Rachmaninoff was chosen to play the Second Piano Concerto with the Philadelphia Orchestra. Gary Graffman has never stopped reworking the ultraromantic piece and by now, as shown by this rich and seasoned performance, his formidable steel fingers are entirely in the service of the Russian's melancholy rhapsodies.
