  • I once had to study the story of Prince Rostislav, who fell in the Stougma and died, as part of my university course. The story led me on to the music. 30 years later I've forgotten almost all the story, but this piece still blazes on. Russian passion galore!!!

  • Totally sophisticated.

  • Excellent as this middle excerpt is, it pales in comparison to the beginning & ending of this truly astonishing tone poem by a very young Rachmaninoff. In the beginning one visualizes fog-lapped caverns of gliding ghosts and other spectral creatures (cannot adequately describe the images) I sure wish Arquelao would put the entire 14-min. piece on here, even if it is w/o the truly impressive visual effects. I'd do it myself but I don't have the technical know-how.

  • This tone poem is about Prince Rostislav who is killed in battle, and sinks to the bottom of a river, to be forgotten by all forever as the waters flow over him.

    Was Rachmaninoff depressed while writing this or something? BEFORE that incident with his 1st Symphony???

  • my name is Strailov!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • My name is Rostislav!

  • très beau

  • This is a great masterpiece, gloomier than "The Isle of the Dead," contrapuntally more believable than "The Bells," and undeniably Rachmaninovian. And Rachmaninov was only EIGHTEEN YEARS OLD when he wrote it. I'm proud to use the name, "Prince Rostislav."
