Sviatoslav Richter plays Rachmaninoff Concerto No. 2 (1/6)

here is one of the great's playing one of my favorite composers of Classical music. It is a story of the life and glory of Russia in my mind, maybe because I heard it in the background of a film about Russia, who knows? It is poetic, yearning, powerful, yet soft, it cries and sings for joy! In all the classsics you hear the human experience repeated in the music of each age, even to the deep drums of the 80's, the tinkling piano's of the 40's, etc. Music is the language of the human experience that goes deeper than words can ever hope to do.
