This is one of my all-time favorite pieces of music, here wonderfully performed. It speaks to me of the true glory of life, which could be nothing but love.

Thanks so much for posting this performance! It is sooo full of passion. This is my favorite version of the Rachmaninov 2nd symphony.

@LondonClarinetist. Re the triplets. Interestingly I've heard Moiseiwitch play triplets in Rachmaninov like that. In fact I hear various artists play triplets in Rachmaninov 's piano music with what might be called 'rhythmic licence'. (Something like the "fast" and "slow" triplets in Chopin perhaps). I must listen to Rachmaninov's own performances again with more care.

The clarinet solo is beautifully played.

[LondonClarinetist]

@keybawd Yes, apart from those triplets - some of which sound more like dotted quavers. It's a beautiful solo for the clarinet.

@keybawd Yes, I know. The clarinet solo is very amazing.
