 Rachmaninoff, Prelude Op. 32, No. 1 in C

Rachmaninoff composed this first prelude of his Opus 32 in August of 1910, and it was first performed in Moscow. This prelude is a brilliant piece with a subdued ending. The best recording I’ve ever heard was Richter's; but not being a Richter, I formed my own interpretation within my capabilities which resulted in a different sound. When asked, Rachmaninoff freely admitted to having “programs” for many of his preludes, but refused to divulge them, instead leaving listeners to derive their own programs. This prelude reminds me of incoming ocean waves gathering strength, crashing against a rocky shore, swirling in violent turbulence as the foaming water retreats, only to roll in again to thunder and explode against the steadfast rocks while tossing sea spray high into the air. I hope you like it.
Piano: Baldwin Model L Artist Grand.
