Rachmaninoff Long Play

Posted on February 21st, 2009 and filed in Cello, LONG PLAYING SELECTIONS, Piano, Rachmaninoff

My quick 2 cents worth about Rachmaninoff! I feel that although he composed some of the most exquisite melodies, somehow he never quite “gets there”. In the way Tchaikovsky, Beethoven, Chopin and Mozart (amongst others!) construct a melody/theme; and when they want to Climax – they do. Rachi, on the other hand, I feel, just almost takes us there!
Any comments?
Enjoy this Long Play.
