I realize that Bocklin´s imagery for death is seperation. Seperation from man and perhaps from God by an island with no humanizing or devine communion.
An eternal rock of isolation and lonliness.
Both painting and music are brilliant indeed.

I've always seen this piece as a story of the wanderer in the picture, his fears, anguish, denial and final submission. Perhaps because of this is this piece so captivating - frightening and yet hopeful and somehow you feel relief in the end. Masterwork.

@jelleepit arnold berklin? are you sure?

Painting is Arnold Berklins Isle of the Dead.Rach never explained the reason for this piece but I suspect he lost someone close to him just around seeing this painting, if you listen to the end the piece you hear heart beat slow and stop and then solo violin come in like a death bed scene, solo violin is Rach obviously, music is the explanation really.

Hey, WhiteOcean, gotta question for you, I have a recording of this, on cassette, but there is a "Life" Theme at the end of this piece with strings, and I am having a hard time finding that segment out here.

@buffalocrotch This is the first half of the recording. Scroll up to the top of this page and see the first video on the right. That's the part 2/2. I had to divide this piece in two because Youtube did not accept any video longer than 10 min.
