Rachmaninov was of course the brilliant virtuoso we all know, but as a genious composer he has as well his place in the standard classical repertoire. Here we hear him play the adagio sostenuto from his second piano concerto. This unique recording with the Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra directed by Leopold Stokowski was made for RCA in 1929.

this peice to me gives me the feeling at anytime i have to ability to fly and soar into the air. it carefully lifts and peaks and decreshendos and creshendos in a way that gives me a peice of everlasting hope in my heart. looking back on what i just wrote, that is some of the cheesiest shit i have ever wrote. but my soul can only be translated in truths...

Also, I adore the sad minor fall that occurs at 9:36 the most, if I had to pick a note out of this huge gorgeous song.

Eric Carmen and that other bitch ripped this masterpiece off hardcore and gave it a closed casket funeral by using like 2 parts of the song in repetition. "All By Myself" doesn't have shit on this. This guy... Just the way he plays alone, he's like the Michelangelo of musicians. In his work you can see every shadow of his emotion. This song was written by Rachmaninov after recovering from clinical depression and writers block. It was dedicated to the one whom helped him regain himself. Perfect.

Ah! Another kindred soul. You understand. It is like falling in love all over again.

Wow, it must have been such a priviledge to hear him live.
