На дворе 1897 год, и катастрофическая премьера Рахманинова’ой Первой симфонии приводит её автора, преследуемого недоброжелателями, в неврастеническое состояние. Три года спустя Рахманинов всё ещё восстанавливается от последствий этого кризиса: он страдает от творческого кризиса, не в состоянии написать ни одного аккорда музыки. Даже визит к Льву Толстому не может ему помочь. Напротив, это ухудшает его положение, усиливая чувство вины и неполноценности. Он в отчаянии, и когда ему предлагают встретиться с неврологом, доктором Далем, он соглашается без раздумий. Известный доктор Николай Даль начинает свою терапию с гипнотического внушения. Он мягко бормочет возле уха великого композитора, в каком-то полусонном состоянии, рефрен «Вы начнёте писать свой концерт… Вы будете работать с большой лёгкостью… Концерт будет отличного качества.» Результат был поразительным! Как будто он начал писать сам себя, так родился Второй фортепианный концерт Рахманинова.

As if it were a personal diary, this concerto follows the Russian composer’s emotional evolution during the composition of his work. In a process of mise en abyme, Rachmaninov’s Piano Concerto No. 2 consists of three movements that narrate the healing stages of a profound depression. They describe, in order: Rachmaninov’s psychological trauma and his inner torment; the awakening of hope in the second movement’s Adagio sostenuto; and at the end, the joy of living’s triumph and the celebration of all that is most beautiful, music itself! Made famous by Céline Dion, the hit song All by Myself was inspired by the melody from the Adagio sostenuto and showcased the appealing empathy of Rachmaninov’s 2nd Piano Concerto to the greatest degree.
