[Publius]

In 1936, the 63 year old Sergei Rachmaninov decided to try his hand at another symphony, something he hadn’t done in almost 30 years. Despite his issues with modern classical music, there is a hint of Prokofiev in this, as well as a taste of Gershwin. Parts of this would make great movie music.

This movement is in sonata format and is as clearly signposted as a symphony by Haydn or Beethoven. Catch that second subject! You just want to melt. The acrid dissonance in the development section sounds a lot like Prokofiev.

Rachmaninov: Symphony #3 in A minor, Op. 44, first movement (Ashkenazy conducting the Concertgebouw of Amsterdam)

A beautiful and brilliant slow movement. The middle section takes the place of a scherzo movement.

(second movement) (Ashkenazy)

Great finale!

(third movement) (Rachmaninov conducting the Philadelphia Orchestra via RCA Victor recording, 1939)
