A concerto grosso has a small group of soloists whereas a solo concerto has only one
A Solo Concerto is a concerto i which a single soloist is accompanied by an orchestra. It is the most frequent type of concerto. It originated in the Baroque Period (approx. 1600 - 1750) as an alternative to the traditional Concertino in a concerto grosso. Concerto = an instrumental work that maintains contrast between an orchestral ensemble and a smaller group or a solo instrument, or among various groups of an undivided orchestra. (fast-slow-fast) three movements. Concertino = The group of solo instruments in a concerto grosso. Concerto Grosso = a musical form, common in the Baroque period, in which contrasting sections are played by full orchestra and by a small group of soloists. Hope that helps :)
piano
The piano and the violin were the most popular solo instruments used in the concerto of classical period. The violin was one of the most popular for the baroque period, and the increase in popularity of the piano caused that this instrument replaced the former.

I'm not sure I can answer that precisely, as Rachmaninov only completed four numbered piano concertos. You may be thinking of the Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini, which is a sort of piano concerto (in other words, it uses a solo piano and an orchestra), in which case I can provide an answer. The most famous part of the Rhapsody, the eighteenth variation, features a very beautiful melody which was used in Groundhog Day. Or, you may be thinking of Piano Concerto No.2, which has been featured in numerous movies including Spider-Man 3, The Seven Year Itch and, most famously, Brief Encounter. Improvement: I'm surprised you forgot Shine, in which Rachmaninov's Piano Concerto no. 3 plays a major role in the plot.
The hd's have a little more bass and better high notes therefore reffering to the "hd" quality. There still not as good as bose .

A concertino is a solo group in a concerto grosso.
In a solo concerto there is only one person playing in contrast to the orchestra, concerto grosso involves a small group of musicians playing in contrast to the orchestra.

A Solo Concerto is a concerto i which a single soloist is accompanied by an orchestra. It is the most frequent type of concerto. It originated in the Baroque Period (approx. 1600 - 1750) as an alternative to the traditional Concertino in a concerto grosso. Concerto = an instrumental work that maintains contrast between an orchestral ensemble and a smaller group or a solo instrument, or among various groups of an undivided orchestra.

A concerto is a three-movement form of composition with a solo instrument playing alongside an orchestra. A concerto with many instruments playing in a " solo group " is called a concerto grosso.
False. Vivaldi's Spring is an example of a Baroque solo concerto.
it's called bananas.
The term Concerto (plural concertos or concerti) usually refers to a musical work in which one solo instrument is accompanied by an orchestra. The concerto, as understood in this modern way, arose in the Baroque period side by side with the concert grosso, which contrasted a small group of instruments with the rest of the orchestra. While the concerto grosso is confined to the Baroque period, the solo concerto has continued as a vital musical force to this day. This article will concentrate on the development of the solo concerto.
Typically a concerto grosso is for a small ensemble of solo instruments, rather than a soloist, with a regular orchestra. While concerti grossi were composed almost exclusively during the baroque period, a few composers in later periods, including our own, have written in the same form.
