Rachmaninov: Symphony No. 2 in E minor, Op. 27 Review

Rachmaninov: Symphony No. 2 in E minor, Op. 27 Overview

In the wake of his First Symphony's catastrophic première, Rachmaninov took a decade
before commencing his Second, painstakingly revising it before conducting the triumphant
première in 1908. Although haunted, like his First, by the Dies irae chant melody, the
Second Symphony brims with Rachmaninov's revitalised assurance as a composer, from
its brooding opening to the vigorous grandeur of its conclusion. Eric Carmen borrowed
the third movement's poignant theme for his popular song Never Gonna Fall In Love
Again, a tribute to the enduring power of Rachmaninov's Romantic genius.

Rachmaninov: Symphonies 1 - 3 Specifications

At two discs for the price of one, and three outstanding performances, this set offers great value. Most impressive is the performance of the First Symphony, the disastrous premiere of which precipitated a nervous breakdown. As a consequence, the work was not revived until after the composer's death. In many ways, it's his most closely argued symphony--each movement begins with the same theme, and they share other melodic material as well. Vladimir Ashkenazy's performance is simply the finest ever committed to disc. He's just about as impressive in the two later works, though there the competition is tougher. The magnificent playing of the Concertgebouw Orchestra certainly adds to this set's attractions. --David Hurwitz
