Symphony No. 2 in E minor
Album by Sergei Vasilievich Rachmaninoff & Симфонический оркестр Большого театра & Evgeny Fyodorovich Svetlanov
Symphony No. 2 in E minor, Op. 27, is the second symphony by Russian composer Sergei Rachmaninoff, completed in 1907 and first performed in 1908. A late-Romantic orchestral work, it is characterised by sweeping, lyrical themes, rich harmonies and expansive orchestration, and occupies an important place in Rachmaninoff's output as a large-scale symphonic statement following the negative reception of his First Symphony.
