HOPE vs. FATE - Rachmaninoff Prelude in C# minor Op. 3 no. 2 - Analysis

Rachmaninoff sets two voices against each other in his most famous piece: the Prelude in C sharp minor Op. 3 no. 2. The fateful motif in the low register rings like funeral bells, and the response in the high register tries to find a way out of the nightmare. Pianist Henrik Kilhamn plays and interprets the music.
