4-27-11 - "Prelude in G Minor, Op. 23, No. 5" ~ Sergei Rachmaninoff

If you don't like classical music, you haven't heard Rachmaninoff (or Beethoven, or Mozart, or Chopin, or Tchaikovsky, but I digress...)  This guy came up with some intense stuff on the piano, including this one.  I first heard this prelude back in high school, when my piano teacher had me learn to play a blend of it and the hymn "How Great Thou Art" for a competition.  I never did quite get it right, but it introduced me to a great composer's works.  Check it out; it's only a few minutes and you just might dig it:
