This had a massive influence on a lot of Muse songs. Space Dementia is the most obvious one, it could be considered a prog rock tribute to this masterpiece

I'm usually turned off by what I consider the excesses of romanticism, and the genre itself i sometimes find infused with ego, but the R man does the aesthetic right in this one. anyway, would rate 4.3 if I could

Rach is quintessential romantacism without sounding too derived. Perfect music imo.

It's great, but Rachmaninoff has better stuff imo. Isle of the Dead >

Yeah, love Ashkenazy. His Scriabin stuff is essential too

Ashkenazy, is indeed, a remarkable interpretation.

This is, the one i own on CD

This is gonna be a super unpopular opinion, but I find this one meddles too much in the previously mentioned romanticism for my liking and actually prefer Rach’s 1st Concerto by a good bit.

No problem with that 3, preference lead.

Rach 1st piano concerto is a classic.

Yeah. I have found that the classical ratings on here are mostly arbitrary. Basically everything is rated super high anyway hahah.



Might have to bump this to a 3.5 anyway, 1st movement was so good.

Their is so much good music out there. From many genre.

( high ratings are generally a mix of both, massive reconnaissance by critics & arbitrary perso choice, i like to see it as a plus, we can, if we want, put our guts on the table)

Indeed, first movement is overshadowing the rest by his insane emotionally charge content.
