About This Song
About "Kreisler: 3 Alt-Wiener Tanzweisen: No. 2, Liebesleid (Arr. Rachmaninov for Piano)" by Aurélien Pontier
Rachmaninov's arrangement of Kreisler's 'Liebesleid' turns a Viennese love-sorrow into a piano miniature of exquisite ache. Pontier lingers on each phrase, letting the melody bloom and wilt. The calm is deceptive: beneath the gentle surface, a heart is breaking in slow motion, one delicate ornament at a time.
