I was fortunate enough to have heard this symphony played by the St. Louis Symphony when I lived there in my college years. How fitting that I was able to find it's recording on YouTube! One of my professors was Dr. Peter Henderson, the St. Louis Symphony pianist, and he would often comment how he wished he had the impressive fingerspan of Rachmaninoff. I chose the fourth movement particularly because of the wavering high energy and optimistic outlook it provides me. Visually, this piece is wide brushstrokes of light greens and pinks and it's effervescent quality shows bursts of yellows. This movement filled Powell Hall that day with these colors.
