Often considered to be his most overtly Russian symphony, Rachmaninoff makes subtle use of a motto theme which appears throughout the work and can be heard in the finale as a variant of the \u003cem\u003eDies Irae\u003c\/em\u003e plainchant – a melodic tag used in Rachmaninov’s music as a dark reminder of mortality. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eRussia\u003c\/em\u003e, the epic symphonic poem, is a reworking of an \u003cem\u003eOverture on Russian Themes\u003c\/em\u003e, collected during Balakirev’s expedition up through the Volga. It was composed in 1864 and is based on three folksongs – a slow wedding song and two round-dances which are varied, fragmented and combined throughout the piece. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRACHMANINOV: Symphony No. 3 In A Major, Op. 44 (43:26)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eI Lento - Allegro Moderato - Allegro\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e17:45\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eII Adagio Ma Non Troppo - Allegro Vivace\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e11:53\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eIII Allegro - Allegro Vivace - Allegro (Tempo Primo) - Allegretto - Allegro Vivace\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e13:48\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e4\u003cspan\u003e BALAKIREV: \u003c\/span\u003eRussia\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e13:04\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"LSO LIVE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46544729637114,"sku":"LSO0779","price":15.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0067\/4660\/3571\/files\/OS0yODIzLmpwZWc.jpg?v=1723502290","url":"https:\/\/classicselectworld.com\/de-de\/products\/valery-gergiev-london-symphony-orchestra-rachmaninov-symphony-no-3-balakirev-russia","provider":"ClassicSelect World","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
