Rachmaninov - Symphony No. 2 Op. 27 III. Adagio: Adagio (LSO)

People should do jail time for putting ads in the middle of this masterpiece.

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..

I cannot even explain what Rachmaninoff’s music does to my mind . I have been listening to his music for years and every single time, every single musical phrase is like a neurotransmitter surge, a burst of life, a first breath. God bless those few people that were born to offer us transcendence.

i like to listen to classical music when i have existential crises just to marvel at something bigger than myself that no one can explain

You`re really fortunate person to understand this masterpiece at such young age. Please don`t laugh at me, but in my case, it took 56 years to find and appreciate this heavenly music!

Listening to this is like "hearing" someone falling in love...

This melody is what falling in love for the first time feels like. First kisses, dances in rain, holding hands, laughing together.

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.

Rachmaninoff can bring the light even in the dark. I am so in love with the clarinet solos here and especially in his music.🌞 May the light be with all of you! Joy, peace, pure love, prosperity and passion!

My mother recently passed away. This song is one that I want to touch in my reunion with her in heaven.

Probably the most beautiful symphony ever made. Thank you Rachmaninoff

I was just 17 years old when I found this masterpiece. Growing up as a classical and jazz enthusiast since childhood this piece brought me so much closure and help after I lost my partner who took his own life. This piece has always stuck with me since then.

I bought a Rachmaninoff cassette when I was in the Navy and listened to it and other classical pieces while reading to drowned out the sound of all the others in our living quarters....What I did not expect is to fall in love with a piece of music...the violins in this make me tear up almost every time and I don't know why...maybe its just the shear beauty of the piece and my and my mind and body have no other way of expressing what it means to me.

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 Adagio is probably the most beautiful movement piece ever composed, I'm not even russian but this is something like a miracle. I make a call to stop this russia-phobia in the world please, don't punish art and people that have nothing to do with war. <3

Was Rachmaninov desperately in love when he composed this? This comes from deep inside his soul.

I adore Rachmaninov, a master of beautiful melodies and gorgeous orchestration. This is my favourite movement of all his symphonies. Just beautiful 😊

Accidentally clicking on this piece was one of the greatest choices of my life.

Beautiful music reminds of my father, my best friend and and brilliant dad and a beautiful Welsh man until we meet again. R. I. P. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿
