The tension and release in this music is almost unbearable.
Thank you Sergei Rachmaninov, Maestro Previn and the NHK Symphony Orchestra.
The pinnacle of human composition and performance

The height of Rachmaninovs genius. This grand and lush symphony. I've always loved this work from the first time I heard it.

I play this while taking off and landing in a plane. So beautiful.....

this is a masterful performance of a stunning movement, I just hope we can keep producing compositions of this nature in music, instead of becoming absorbed in academia and atonal modern music. Notice some of the motifs in this symphony are used in rach 3, and other works. Does anyone know any composers similar to rachmaninoff? I'm thinking the russian five?

Rachmaninov's music , if you have listened to his stuff during the beginning of his career, are quite revolutionary and he's criticized badly because it's not the tune that was common at that time. I would say, his between the Classic - Modern Music. If you really want Classic, check the much older artists before him. :) Good luck and have fun !

I use the Rachmaninov Symphony as a sleep aid, played most every night. I wholeheartedly agree its one of the most beautiful compositions ever written.

@robinho1979 The second movement from Bartok 2nd piano concerto.

The best masterpiece ever :P



some of the most beautifully moving music ever written. I love this symphony, especially the third movement. People consider Rachmaninov to sometimes be too lush, but I doubt that the beauty exemplified in the third movement can ever be reproduced by anyone else but Rachmaninov.
