Peter Cossé: In Sanderling's manner and approach to the musical argument one can recognize something of the astringent, tough and simultaneously cool-headed but passionate interpretations of Mravinsky. I don't mean by this that Sanderling stood in any sense in a pupil teacher relationship with his colleague, but one cannot to notice a clear affinity of thinking between the two. In order to shape effectively such a large-scale, emotionally laden work as Rachmaninov's Second Symphony, necessary to begin with a sympathetic overall view and bring the broad outlines of the strange but fascinating musical landscape into relief. A secure, experienced guide is indispensable with Rachmaninov, whether in the popular piano concertos or the symphonies, which still sometimes meet with critical disapproval. The accusations of long-windedness sometimes levelled against this major work of Rachmaninov's sorrowful muse, which he composed in 1906-08, arise above all from a dangerous misunderstanding of a foreign, or, if you will, Slavic timescale. One has simply to surrender to this music. Its pathos, its ferocity, its elegiac world view, the powerful outbursts in the finale, will be properly appreciated only when the listener forgets all his prejudices and is prepared to open himself up completely to an expansive new world. Kurt Sanderling and the Leningrad players showed miraculously in 1956 that this meeting in Berlin provided a genuine encounter with Rachmaninov.

Thank you very much! I listened to Sanderling in Leningrad when was a child! It was wonderful! I remember it all my life!

[@user-ok2ii9jt3z]

Rachmaninov's second symphony is undoubtedly his supreme orchestral masterpiece, and Sanderling's interpretation was probably second to none. Thank you for sharing.

This is ravishing. The sound is incredible! Many thanks!

Big fan of his piano works for many years. First time hearing this symphony. Love it.

[@Danleesixoneonetwofive]

What divine grace in the Adagio. Absolute salvation for my life... All the absurdity, all the boredom, all the pain are gone when this music is here with me. My love for this music developed slowly. I stumbled upon a passage of the adagio on youtube one day, but I did not appreciate it at first. Later on, however, I began to think about letting this music caress my ears when I was not home. It's like a romance... My love developed slowly for it, but it is very intense now.

[@fransmeersman2334]

Thank you for the uncut version (and the New Mastering) of this magistral symphony with Kurt Sanderling and the Leningrad Philharmonic Orchestra. Rachmaninov's most beautiful and important Symphony. Late romanticism at his best !

[@chlee3831]

Isn't this a cut version?

[@fransmeersman2334]

@@chlee3831 Yes, if my information (Google and Wikipedia) is correct, shortened from about one hour to forty minutes.

[@fransmeersman2334]

Sorry, I was not quit clear, I meant thus it is not a cut version according to the mentioned information.

[@chlee3831]

Having performed this symphony before (as a 1st violinist), I know for certain that at 51:42 Sanderling made a huge cut in the 4th movement.

[@fransmeersman2334]

@@chlee3831 Thank you very much for your answer, I'm not a musician, it is very fine to get information of a musician. I like this symphony very much and hope once to hear the complete version.

[@robertcohn8858]

What I really like about this magnificent piece is that it is uplifting; almost as though it has a message of hope - that things won't be so bad after all. Thanks so much for posting.

Wunderschöne Aufführung dieser spätromantischen und perfekt komponierten Sinfonie mit gut phrasierten doch perfekt entsprechenden Tönen aller Instrumente. Der dritte Satz klingt besonders schön und echt melodisch. Der intelligente und unvergleichliche Dirigent leitet das weltklassige Orchester im gut analysierten Tempo und mit perfekt kalkulierter Dynamik. Die verbesserte Tonqualität ist auch erstaunlich hoch als eine originale Aufnahme von fünfundsechzig Jahren vor in der damals DDR. Alles ist wunderbar!

[@BalbirSingh-gr2qk]

👍👍👍

[@Danleesixoneonetwofive]

This music shows you all the beautiful emotions of life: the pining, the joy, the excitement, the cruelty (at times). Not every emotion is "good", but they are all "beautiful" because they are all a part of life. To live is an art.

[@edmundgreen8041]

I do not have the words to express my admiration for this awesome interpretation.

[@jayakumarkaarikuzhy4713]

I read elsewhere that Horowitz regarded Rahmaninof as the greatest composer for piano . And I never knew that his creativity had spread over symphony also.It was great music and a wonderful symphony - having the hallmarks of an epic composition!

[@JohanHerrenberg]

Try his First Symphony, too. Ashkenazy, Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra...

[@jayakumarkaarikuzhy4713]

@@JohanHerrenberg thanks very much.

[@stonefireice6058]

Rachmaninov wrote 3 symphonies, symphonic accidental music and also composed an opera “Aleko “ after Pushkin’s poem. The opera have had a little success outside of couple of numbers. Funny, that Horowitz didn’t feel any animosity toward Rachmaninov, who wasn’t thrilled with Horowitz’ performances of his concertos. He loved Arthur Rubinstein and later Emil Gilels, considering them the best interpreters of his music. His 2nd symphony is the crowning masterpiece! And the best performance of it is with London SO under Previn, recorded in 1973, now brilliantly re-mastered.

[@BalbirSingh-gr2qk]

👍👍👍

[@Rach2988]

To me, Rachmaninoff wrote the most beautiful music I’ve ever heard in this symphony the 1st Movement!! Every time I listen to it, it is like the first time. It’s always brand new to me. The whole symphony is a joy in my life. To me, Rachmaninov was the greatest composer of all time. I’m so lucky to be able to enjoy this music. I’m so thankful.

[@SanasSweetMode]

Masterful interpretation by Sanderling. How he is able to capture the notes on the page and turn them into pure emotion, a mystery, but one I am so thankful to be able to experience. Thanks for the upload!

[@dbtrains172]

ワオ、冒頭から素晴らしいサウンド！　ムラヴィンスキー時代に磨き上げられた「オーケストラの貴族」レニングラード・フィルハーモニー の面目躍如です。 ムラヴィンスキーのレパートリーではなかったラフマニノフの交響曲第2番にザンデルリンクの素晴らしいレコードが、独グラモフォン社の録音で残されたことに喜びを禁じ得ません。

[@juancarlosnunez795]

En relación con el 3° mov., hasta ahora, para mi, la mejor versión existente, a la par, o más, que el gran maestro Temirkanov, con su impecable versión, o la legendaria versión de Ormandy.

Too bad about the cuts, even if they were sanctioned by the composer, especially in the last movement… Especially with a Russian orchestra I was lucky enough to hear Temirkanov in rehearsal and performance in Baltimore without cuts.
