Karina Canellakis Describes Rachmaninov Symphony No. 2
Play
Rachmaninov's Symphony No. 2 is a deep emotional journey, and few know it better than conductor Karina Canellakis.
Canellakis describes the opening as emerging from pure darkness, the main theme like a "nostalgic rainy day". The third movement features one of the most celebrated clarinet solos ever written. By the final movement, nostalgia and darkness give way to euphoria.
From the brooding darkness of the Largo to the exhilarating release of the Finale, Canellakis reveals the subtle nostalgia, emotion, and sheer orchestral power woven into every movement.
