The piano accompaniment, when played properly is quite scintillating - Here it is a little *unsettled*.

Sweet Corn - do I get the distinct impression you're a Rachmanophile? LOL
Hi CT64,
I am a certified RachmaninovianRachmaninoff Rocks My World!

I have to say, Corno, you are so on the money about him. A true visionary.
Hi CT64,
About a week ago I got the DVD entitled *Harvest Of Sorrow*. Its about Rachmaninoff's life and music. My Lady and I have watched it several times already and we have cried tears of empathy for the man who could not return to Russia after he fled from the Evil Bolshie/Commie Empire. And tears of joy for the most sublime, heartrendering, and intellectually satisfying music iovho.
Cheers,
CD

That is a beautiful song.

Sweet Corn - yeah, one can't help but just LOVE Rachmaninov's music. Actually I have a rather delightful organ transcription of one of his preludes (the g minor), it's a little over the top on the organ but satisfying, nevertheless.
CT64,
The Rachmaninoff you have - Is that the sheet music or the recording done by the incomparable Thomas Murray on the Woolsey Hall organ of Yale University?

That's the one, indeed, a wonderful CD that I adore.
Thomas Murray has such a wonderful interpretative style. His recording of the works of Elgar are just *superfantabulous*.
Back on Rachmaninoff topic: The Theatre Organist Jelani Eddington has, from what I understand, recorded Rachmaninoff's 2nd piano concerto on a Theatre organ. I'm trying to envision what it would sound like...Man, THAT would be an *exotic* sound.
