Rachmaninoff: Piano concerto no.2 - Arranged for two pianos - 2nd movement

Sergei Rachmaninoff - Piano concerto no.2 in C minor, Op.18 (arranged for two pianos)
Second movement: Adagio sostenuto.
At its 1897 premiere, Rachmaninoff's first symphony, though now considered a significant achievement, was derided by contemporary critics. Compounded by problems in his personal life, Rachmaninoff fell into a depression that lasted for several years. His second piano concerto, composed between the autumn of 1900 and April 1901, confirmed his recovery from clinical depression and writer's block, cured only by a course of hypnotherapy. The concerto was dedicated to Nikolai Dahl, a physician who had done much to restore Rachmaninoff's self-confidence. [Source: Wikipedia]
