About This Song
About "Rachmaninov: Piano Concerto No. 4 in G Minor, Op. 40: II. Largo" by Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli
This Largo is a long, lonely corridor in a grand house—Michelangeli's tone is sepulchral, each chord a door opening onto emptiness. Rachmaninov's melancholy here is not sentimental but stark, a meditation on distance and loss.
