Sergeij Rachmaninov: Elegie

This beautiful piece of music was recorded by Rachmaninov himself in October 1928.

Sergeij Rachmaninov: Preludio Op. 32, No. 5

This is Vladimir Horowitz playing Rachmaninov in Moscow, 1986. It is the second best recording of this piece available; the best is of course by Rachmaninov himself, recorded in 1920. Unfortunately, embedding is not allowed for that particular video, but it can be listened to here.
