Sundays are for Beauty - Kalinnikov 2nd Symphony



Back on April 5, 2009, we posted Vasily Kalinnikov's First Symphony (he wrote only two), and thought you might like this one. The previous post also included biographical information about Kalinnikov and the assistance he received from fellow Russian composer, Sergey Rachmaninov. It's a beautiful story.

Sorry no performance of this piece by a live orchestra could be found. Just close your eyes and listen, and enjoy. You might want to play the First Symphony and then this second one if you have time.

Have a Beautiful Sunday.
