  • 3 people here apparently wouldn't no great music if it kicked them in the backside-maybe they're Rhianna fans.

  • @MrHicks091 What probably happened to "those 3" is that they were so overwhelmed by the intensity and awesome beauty of this section that in the rush to hit the "LIKE button" they clicked the other.

  • the guy in the back with the big drums looks bored out of his wits

  • to me he looks determined and concentrated.

  • This beautiful music needs a great film, a film about love, Rachmaninoff would get an Oscar. Thanks

  • It reminds Richard Wagner's Tristan's "Love Death". Another magnificent and slow crescendo.

    [ Perhaps also Ravel's Bolero? ]

  • I have glorious memories attached to Rachmaninovs Second—a little smoke under a palm tree with a lovely lady. We watch a yachts flickering party lights as it sails across Sarasota Bay and approached the Ringling Bridge.

    The music evokes the dream.

  • @friendlybarman Someday I will. I promise.

  • @mostcommonwombat You are quite correct, I don't remember where I got that information, but I should have checked before posting, thanks for catching it!

  • @isftpoawawh Sadly, you ARE very much incorrect. Whilst he was not prolific composition-wise after leaving Russia. I will accept the argument that 4th Concerto had already been "sketched" before leaving Russia but Corelli Variations, Paganini Rhapsody, 3rd Symphony, Symphonic Dances & Four Russian Songs were all written during his "exile".

  • HOW can you do such beautiful things? obviously there is a divine touch behind this!

  • my God, I just love this movement!!

  • mdoub, the guy with the "big drums" called KETTLE DRUMS, is counting beats and concentrating... he's hardly bored.

  • This orchestra does credit to this lovely

    2nd movement of Rachmaninov's Symphony No 2. Performed with real feeling.

  • personally don't quite like the clarinetist's tone. it can be warmer. or maybe I'm just picky because I play the clarinet.
