Rachmaninov/Stokowski - Prélude in c# minor

[crusnikbat]

The clarinets here don't sound nearly as screechy as the ones in my band do.

[Flutt3rshy]

This....well, um...it's made me appreciate this prelude in a whole new light...a much more sinister and creeping one admittedly, but, um, beautiful too of course...this is amazing, thank you for sharing.

[spinto12]

[tedbohne]

Sergei Vasilyevich was but 19 years of age when he wrote this prelude

[pedalsnkeys1313]

Rachmaninov is such a great composer! This song made me think of Star Wars lol

[markov2b1]

the first time i heard this was playing the chessmaster 2000 or something like that. i heard it as a midi file. and i loved it back then

[Feline132]

i want this picture!!!

music is great too, of course, but on the piano it's better, my opinion ;)

[fmazzar]

truly earth moving, Stokowski is the greatest man of the 20th century......

[alreadytaken334]

C# minor is a great key.

[deussolinvictus]

God, Stowkowski was a Master!!! His arrangement of this piano piece utterly transforms it.

[CoCoNuTsiopatHic]

Mao Asada skated to it in Vancouver, but it was set to be what Michelle Kwan would skate to in Torino had she not withdrawn.

この音楽を聴いて、浅田真央選手が目指していたことが、理解でき­ました。

Leopold Stokowskiの演奏もすばらしい。

ロシアと日本の選手に祝福を！

[messirvoland14]

Two genius - Rachmaninov and Stokowsky!

[iamleda]

Man, this music gave me chills during Mao Asada's freeskate. So intense, so forboding.

[APiazzolla]

A powerful orchestration!!!

Thanks for upload!!!

[soulmach]

Who is the conductor? Is this the Erich Kunzel recording?

[ArturoAlejandroS]

I have imaginated the 2:48 passage in an orchestral arrangement almost exactly and with same instruments!!

It's marvelous!!!!!!!!!!!!

[prettiboi309]

[meigrian]

[AlexanderFieres]

[bartje11]

There was no exact location with the picture, but it is somewhere in the Western US

[chipgowest]

@bartje11 imagin walking on your own through those hills, the music coming out or the forrest and accross the lake. what a spiritual moment of existence that would be. i think i sence a painting coming on!!

[deviantrake]

Brilliant brilliant brilliant, I've been looking for this for years! I heard it at a Prom concert about 10 years ago but could never find a copy on cd, thankyou very very much! Straight to my favourites!
