About "Rachmaninov: 13 Preludes, Op. 32: No. 5 in G Major" by Conrad Tao
Rachmaninov's G Major Prelude, performed by Tao, is a study in controlled turbulence. The melody surges and retreats like a tide, its emotional pull lying in the tension between expansive lyricism and an undercurrent of melancholy.
