I don't know what it is about the second Rachmaninoff concerto , but it inevitably reminds me of rain dripping off the leaves of trees. Not that I don't love it, I really do, but it is so evocative of rain that I was very amused by the CD title. Ashkenazy is particularly good with Rachmaninoff. ...
I have all of the Philips classical CD's and enjoy them often. This Handel Holiday music CD is really a festive combination of classical pieces. I highly recommend this CD to classical fans and also to friends who don't particularly enjoy/understand classical music as this CD is truly a holiday ...
