Rachmaninov plays his Concerto

May 26th 2008 07:06
Rachmaninov plays own concerto
Signature Tune





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.

Mine is OK Raven, try

Really Long Link

The page should come up there and voila!

It is really something but takes time to watch and one must allow for the age.

Or just try Really Long Link

Excellent post katyzzz!! As a classical pianist myself I truly treasured this video clip. I was only aware of a few recordings of Rachmaninov's playing which we have today, but I never heard this particular one.

Myrsha, I'm really glad I put it up, I wondered if people would appreciate it. Clearly YOU do.

Nice to see you,
