    This piece reminds me of my five year old brother who was killed by a drunk driver. I listened to this and just started bawling out crying imagining Vincent in heaven and free from this earth. I miss my sibling, I hope he's in a happier dimension than here..

    This is the peak of humanity , leaving aside all the evils that we create all the disasters that we bring upon ourselves , this is where the beautiful part of the human being is demonstrated and made as clearly visible as possible by Rachmaninoff. the feeling of love is indescribable, it is what keeps as humane even in this tragic downfall that we are partaking in . whether it is love towards a partner , a family member or simply anything in nature , i wish for every person to feel this sheer extraordinary emotion consisting of different energies.. pain and joy. may there be peace in our world. Thank you , the genius of Rachmaninoff.

    I will never forget the first time I heard this live in Chicago in 1975 while attending a Navy school at Great Lakes Naval base. It was the Chicago S O performing. This movement especially swept over me with such intensity...the deep longing quality when the piece rises in such poignant intensity. Nothing beats a live performance with the right acoustics. I was in tears with the emotion overwhelming me. An experience that I can still recall almost 5 decades later. So grateful to the composers like Rachmaninoff who create such ethereal beauty.

      This, if not already discussed before in this forum, may help explain and be of some interest to some. American pop rock artist Eric Carmen co-wrote "Never gonna fall in love again" in the mid 70s which became a number one hit on the Billboard Easy Listening chart. If you listen carefully to the opening of the movement and again at 3:30, and at 8:20 to 8:30 ( solo horn followed by solo violin ) and 8:55 to 9:10 ( solo clarinet ) , you'll hear the melody Carmen "lifted" from Rachmaninov's composition. The lyrics to the song are as follows:
      No use pretending things can still be right
      There's really nothing more to say
      I'll get along without your kiss tonight
      Just close the door and walk away
      Never gonna fall in love again
      I don't want to start with someone new
      ‘Cause I couldn't bear to see it end
      Just like me and you
      No, I never want to feel the pain
      Of remembering how it used to be
      Never gonna fall in love again
      Just like you and me
      At first we thought that love was here to stay
      The summer made it seem so right
      But like the sun we watched it fade away
      From morning into lonely night
      Songwriters: Eric Carmen / Sergei Rachmaninoff

      You have put into words exactly what I feel about this absolutely sublime music. I very recently attended a live performance of it with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra masterfully conducted by Riccardo Muti, and I warned the people sitting on both sides of me that if it proved to be as magnificent a performance of it that I so fervently hoped it would be, I would very likely breakdown and weep during the second movement, and to please forgive me as I couldn't prevent myself from doing so as I am simply overwhelmed by such incomparable beauty. I am very glad that I did so because it turned out to be an overwhelmingly gorgeous performance of this ravishingly beautiful masterpiece, and it was quite clear that the packed audience was in full agreement with my assessment , as it almost brought the house down in its extended full-throated response at its conclusion. Of the many recorded versions of this masterpiece, I would place this particular one at or very near the top of the list. -- R. A, Verville

    One of my all-time favorite movements from one of my all-time favorite (and one of the all-time great) composers. At age 2 my mother taught me how to use our old phonograph to play her 78-rpm classical records, so I would stop bugging her to play them. My favorite piece soon became the Rachmaninov 2nd Piano Concerto (still one of my favorites); I played it so often I wore out the spindle holes on the discs and had then to play them one at a time. Sigh. It mirrored (or echoed) my heart, maybe kept it alive, when I was that very young child.

      Pat Larkin You're right. I was about to have an accident last year, when I returned to myself I suddenly heard the screeching tire sound of a big bus whose driver seemed to have broken the wheel to one side bobbing like a little boat in big waves to not crush my little car. Garsping in horror, I thanked God for saving me and the people on the bus. Since then I haven't listened to pieces like this while driving. It's dangerous.
