Rachmaninoff's 2nd Sonata?
on: May 27, 2005, 02:36:02 AM
What's the big deal about this piece? I'll admit I've only heard one recording, Horowitz's, and I'm usually a big Rachmaninoff fan, but this piece doesn't sound very good to these ears.

Go to the www.cliburn.org and listen to (or watch) Olga Kern's live recording of it.
