Perfect background music for a rainy day, as the title suggests! Whether reading a book, resting, or just plain driving around, this CD is the perfect companion!

5.0 out of 5 stars Rainy day, boy what an appropriate title, April 6, 2001
This review is from: Rachmaninoff for a Rainy Day (Audio CD)
I don't know what it is about the second Rachmaninoff concerto , but it inevitably reminds me of rain dripping off the leaves of trees. Not that I don't love it, I really do, but it is so evocative of rain that I was very amused by the CD title.

Ashkenazy is particularly good with Rachmaninoff. You can't go wrong with this CD if you love his music.

3.0 out of 5 stars It's alright, March 29, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Rachmaninoff for a Rainy Day (Audio CD)
The music is not quite what i expected, i guess i expected something a lot slower and more relaxing (given the title). Something more like my Brahms lullabye CD or my Beethoven at Bedtime CD.This music is more on the romantic side. But since i like Rachmaninov i dont have a problem with it, i'll just listen to it during the day rather than before bed. One song is way too fast and i just skip over that one rather than listen to it. I would describe all the other songs as romantic or movie theme types.
