  • Sergei Rachmaninov

Largo – Allegro moderato 25'08 2 II. Allegro molto 10'11 3 III. Adagio (solo clarinet: John Cushing) 16'09 4 IV. Allegro vivace 15'34 Royal Scottish National Orchestra (leader: Edwin Paling) conducted by Owain Arwel Hughes The Royal Scottish National Orchestra is supported in this recording project by The Royal Bank of Scotland. 2 t resurrexit. Ten years earlier Sergei Rachmaninov, the pride of the Moscow Conser- vatory, had experienced a complete fiasco with the première of his Symphony No.1 in E D minor, Op.13 – an event which caused him to fall silent as a composer for three years. Seven years earlier, the psychotherapeutic treatment he received from Nikolai Dahl, a doctor and amateur musician, had restored his creative courage. Six years earlier, he had re- conquered the concert stage with his Piano Concerto No. 2 in C minor, Op.18. The year was thus 1907; Russia was in the grip of revolutionary unrest, and Rachmaninov, having com- pleted a two-year period as conductor at the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow, was in Dresden with his wife and children: only now did the 34-year-old composer face the trauma of a new sym- phony. His Symphony No. 2 in E minor, Op. 27, like the great majority of his works, is in a minor key; only in the third movement and – per aspera ad astra – in the finale does it break jubilantly into the major.

Consequently, it was with some confidence that Elgar looked forward to the premiere of his Second Symphony, two and a half years later. Yet at the premiere, conducted by the composer at Queen's Hall, London, on 24 May 1911, many of the seats were empty and its reception lacked enthusiasm. "What is the matter with them?" Elgar asked the orchestral leader, W.H. Reed, "They sit there like a lot of stuffed pigs." With hindsight, it is not difficult to understand the audience's reaction. The Second Symphony is one of Elgar's finest achievements, but it is also one of his most complex and ambivalent.

For the traditionally inclined Rachmaninov, however, the genre of the symphony remained “the zenith of instru- mental music’ (as E.T.A. Hoffmann had called it in 1809), in other words the central com- positional challenge – which in 1935, almost thirty years after the Second Symphony, he once more felt ready to face. Much had occurred in the meantime – the Russian Revolution had forced him into exile in America, and his career as a composer had become subsidiary to his prowess as a piano virtuoso. His Piano Concerto No. 4 in G minor, Op. 40 – the most ambitious project he undertook during the 1920s – had proved to be a flop.
