About

Given the title 'Choral Symphony' by Rachmaninov, The Bells is a setting of a Russian translation of a poem by Edgar Allan Poe. Bell sounds held a lifelong intense spiritual and cultural significance for Rachmaninov, along with his other obsession, liturgical chanting – in particular, the Dies Irae. Here, the four movements follow the course of life from birth to death, the bells being associated with a sleigh ride, a wedding, alarm calls and a funeral.

From its premiere, Rachmaninov's 2nd Symphony was, and remains, a triumphant and popular success. Full of glorious melodies and colourful orchestration, the mood ranges from savage and terrifying to romantic and sensual. Bells again feature in the jubilant ending.
