I keep hearing Gershwin and Bartok in amongst the three blind mice theme. Rach trying to be American?

This s the true voice of homesickness.

@JoEbYX I disliked this concerto to start with. I just didn't get it - then I reheard from 5:22 again to 6:24 and thought of the relationship between piano and orchestra and how he uses all the instruments to create wonderful effects. From there I listened to it a dozen times and it gets better with each hearing for me.

@opterios Yes, there is something particularly sublime and powerful right at that point I've thought that from the moment I ever first heard it.

@Starbirdy9999 same here, it hasnt got the great romantic easy to follow crescendos as his other concertos and is more intimate but when listened to a few times it is unspeakably beautiful

@JoEbYX you find it emotionally jarring?

I don't understand why this was so badly received when it premiered, it's an amazingly beautiful work!
Or maybe it's because I'm not as educated as his critics were, I dunno.

I have seriously fall in love with his music since I hear that piece
At 5m38s it's one of the most breathtaking crescendos I've ever heard!

I'm not ashamed to say that at times I got lost in the first movement. This is the only Rachmaninov concerto that loses me like that.
