About "Suite No. 1 for 2 Pianos, Op. 5 : Rachmaninoff: Suite No. 1 for 2 Pianos, Op. 5: 4. Russian Easter" by Vladimir Ashkenazy

Ashkenazy’s 'Russian Easter' from Rachmaninoff’s Suite No. 1 is a two-piano tempest. Bell-like tolling gives way to swirling, folk-inflected energy, the pianos conversing in thunderous and tender tones. It captures the tension between solemn ritual and unbridled celebration, a whirlwind of resurrection joy.
