2:16 onwards really reminds me of Borodin's Polovtsian Dances, really beautiful.

The performers of these are from the Berlin philharmonic

What an amazing piece, thank you for sharing!

[@steveegallo3384]

One of my favorite composers, especially for his 2nd Symphony...

......"The Zaporozhian Cossacks"....Rakhmaninov's unacknowledged debt to Glière....

....Andante at 14:40....ein Wünder !

Charming piece! Definitely needs to be played more often, though pretty tricky, a lot of figurations. It would also work perfectly well at slightly slower tempi

[@keranpake4537]

the poco agitato (2:58), Rehearsal number 2 of the third movement (14:36), and the feroce in the 4th movement (21:30) all rank in my top 5 excerpts from any classical piece I've ever listened to
