@mrmolinodelahoz Rachmaninoff titled this compositon "The Crag" (translated as "The Rock"). The Crag theme was a facade, according to Sergei Bertennesson in his biography of Rachmaninoff, secretly hiding the real theme of the work. The real theme was a work by the Russian writer Anton Chekhov, "Along the Way". It is a tragic story of two travelers, one a joyous young girl, the other an anguished old man, who meet in a roadside inn on Christmas Eve.

@piano8091 No, you're thinking of something else. Rachmaninoff actually wrote a piece called "Isle of the Dead", which is his opus 29.
-
who is playing and conducting this?
-
@piano8091 That is Isle of the Dead Op. 29, This piece is The Rock, Op. 7.
-
Rachmaninoff rocks!!! Thank you so much for sharing*^o^*

You're thinking of a different piece. The quote there in the title is part of the inspiration for this particular work.
-
What painting is this?
-
@mrmolinodelahoz model for this composition was the picture "Isle of Dead" by Arnold Böcklin (i hope my english is ok)
-
