The G major prelude from Op. 32 is one of few calm pieces in major among Rachmaninoff's 24 preludes. The left hand accompaniment conjurs Barcarolle vibes as if swaying back and forth on calm water, and the right hand melody enters as if sailing. There's an interlude in minor that shimmers even more poignantly for a brief moment, but the music soon returns home to the warm and safe major. With pianist Henrik Kilhamn.
