Rachmaninov Piano Concerto No. 2 also worth listening. There's also an interesting story behind this masterpiece. He was so depressed because of failed 1st concert(1887) that he have lost selfconfidence and felt into creative block. It could have never seen the world. And it would be so if some of his friends didn't suggest him to go to a genius physician Nikolai Dahl. He used a brand new approach a hypnosis and after three months Rachmaninov was cured. In 1901 he dedicated his 2nd Concert to Dahl.
Yes, I have heard this piece and the story behind it. I became aware of that story when researching for this article. Thank you for sharing though! I never had heard of the hypnosis approach. Rachmaninoff is one of the greats!
He was very lucky because Dahl was among the first physicians to use hypnosis and the only in Russian Empire. Hypnosis is a very interesting field i know that it can open some doors to unconscious.
