artistic health, but a struggle from weakness
to strength can nevertheless be easily read
into the music.
14 EBB & FLOWEBB & FLOW
A frequent but half-hidden signpost on
this journey is the Latin hymn for the dead,
the Dies Iræ, which was almost an obsession
with Rachmaninov, who loved its overtones
of Fate, Judgement, and Eternity.
The first movement has a perfectly arched
introduction that starts in the deep gloom of
the cellos and basses, then strives upwards
towards the light. Despite a huge effort
and a thrilling moment of climax, the music
falls back until only a sad, Tristanesque cor
anglais is left. Short, breathless woodwind
phrases appear four times, and the strings
answer with a swell that is grounded
on the opening few notes, and provides
the first main theme.
A more lyrical second theme follows
before the large development section in
which the battle is on between rising energy
and emotional retreat. Two big, dissonant
climaxes are heard before a recapitulation
that continues the fight, but leads to an
ending that is cut short by a few swift blows.
In the Scherzo that follows, a full-blooded
theme for horns is built from the opening
notes of the Dies Iræ, and a second section
is warm and romantic. Following a repeat of
the Scherzo, the music dies away, muttering
darkly, but in the wonderful Adagio of the
third movement, a vast, sunlit sea of sound
is revealed, harbouring an unforgettable solo
for clarinet, and showing Rachmaninov’s
string-writing at its peak.
Thus refreshed, the composer produces
an exuberant finale. There are pounding
rhythms, march-like themes, glittering,
tarantella-like dance sections, and grand
moments of recognition as earlier themes
reappear at the close, crowning the work
with an air of triumph and conviction.
