Just before leaving the house on Saturday afternoon, I caught the "Listen Again" repeat of Radio 4's Film Programme, at the end of which was a trailer for a Radio 4 tribute to David Lean, which featured the music from one of his best films, Brief Encounter (coming to a blog space near you soon!)
Ah, the lure of bloody Rachmaninov again.
I often have that 2nd Piano Concerto in my head, and couldn't get it out of my system this time, so I had to go and get the CD. Luckily, it was with Vladimir Ashkenazy at the piano and Andre Previn conducting, two prime exponents of the beauty of Rachmaninov's music.
