Rachmaninov really threw everything at his Second Symphony. Not only is it a big orchestra, but it’s a BIG piece too – both in length and just how much is going on. Plus it’s got all the feels – it’s sentimental, gushy, suspenseful, dark and mysterious. You name an emotion and it’s here. Debussy’s La mer (the sea) is economical in comparison. It’s a simple idea, a musical depiction of the sea, but done so well you can almost feel the sea spray.
