I agree. This is one of the handful of my very favorite musical compositonns. And this is a good producion, with both the power and the passion of Rachmaninov's music. Thanks for sharing.

This is the piece that Rachmaninoff wrote after recovering from depression due to the failure of his first symphony, a failure caused by a drunk conductor who had never looked at the score before the concert. The Rach 3 is also among my favorites along with Tchaikovsky 1, Brahms 2, Beethoven 5.

Dear Mark,

It shows how diverse your appreciation of music really is! Great knowing there are others out there who enjoy not only one but all genres.

My favorite also. It's a tie with Brahms 2. This is a great performance. I judge all performances of Rachmaninoff 2 against Van Cliburn's. His performance of this in Moscow on Russian TV is also astonishing but suffers from poor sound and video.

Wuju Wang’s Rac 2 is also outstanding! I posted it a few years back.

Thanks for the reply!
