Rachmaninoff Prelude in B minor, Op. 32 no. 10: The Return

Rachmaninoff's B minor prelude, Op. 32 no. 10, is known to be inspired by the Böcklin painting "The Return", depicting a man waiting outside a house before arriving. Rachmaninoff presents a rich inner life of emotions in his prelude, going between solemnity, pride and resignation. With pianist Henrik Kilhamn. Youtube video: https://youtu.be/6sXGdJ2VerU
