    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.

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

      No, you must understand that vile and crooked people shall have music that reflects how profoundly meaningless they are. The masses can only corrupt such beauty. We all have the capacity to appreciate it, classical music belongs to everyone but first we bring ourselves closer to the essence of music and the essence of the human soul. It is all so beautiful, so charming, at least much more so than vulgar jokes and ‘roasts’. Cheers

      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.

    대자연의 숨소리를 느낍니다. 이곡을 들을때마다 매번 똑같은 설레임과 아스라이 떠오르는 희망가득한 속삭임. .그리고 다시 시작할 수 있다는 벅차오르는 감동 . .라흐마니노프가 신경쇠약에서 가까스로 빠져나와 이곡을 쓰면서 느꼈을 감격을 상상해 봅니다. 사람의 감성은 하나님이 주신 최고의 선물입니다.

By now, after having listened to this timeless piece of perfection-on-earth, I should be capable of keeping a clear head and a sense of normality....but, the music takes away my disciplined brain and I am a slave once more to the absolute magic and beauty of this composer's uniqueness where composing music is concerned. But we are all aware of the fact that to listen once, will never be enough. We are addicted and drawn to Rachmaninoff, that's it in a nutshell.

    Este adagio es una de las obras más bellas del romanticismo musical. El alma Rachmaninov convertida en música, como flotando en los más nostálgicos recuerdos, o como soñando con partir hacia la Eternidad. La podría escuchar mil veces, y mil veces me emociona hasta el estremecimiento.

    I played this tonight with a very good symphony in a nice theater. It's amazing how different it sounds when you are sitting in the horn section. You hear so much of your own line and the lines right around you that you can't tell how lush it sounds in the audience. Amazing writing and one of the most beautiful things created by man.

      I was 1st horn in high school 59 years ago and have regretted not continuing when the opportunity presented. Back then when we had a bad day being out of tune, time was off or generally just an off day I put on this adagio movement or the second movement of Rachmaninov’s Piano Conc #2 when I went to bed. As the music flowed the tears began to stream down my cheeks and the stress evaporated. These are my two favorite pieces in the world and I still cry every time I listen! They stir my soul and I know I have been touched by the Hand of God! Phenomenal!!

      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.
