Friday Pre-Dawn Culture: Rachmaninov Edition
Got 10:40 to spare for some pastoral aural cheesecake?
Take in Rachmaninov's Second Piano Concerto, Movement II, with your morning news reading or coffee.
This is from a 1929 recording of Rachmaninov himself on piano playing with the Philadelphia Orchestra. Cracks and pops, warmth and all. Shimmering, soaring late-Romantic beauty for a turbulent world. Enjoy.
Check out other installments in the Jawa Report Music series if you haven't already.
