About "10 Preludes, Op. 23 : Rachmaninoff: 10 Preludes, Op. 23: No. 5 Alla marcia in G Minor" by Sviatoslav Richter

Richter turns Rachmaninoff’s Alla marcia into a grim parade: the G-minor march strides forward with granite weight, yet beneath the bravado lurks a brittle melancholy. Each chord is a clenched fist, each phrase a sigh trapped in a soldier’s throat.
