@TheStefanNestor I know it and I have read "What is art?" with interest and amazement.
Do we need any further proof that the man was deaf, if he didn't value Beethoven? Personally,for whatever it is worth, I could live without Tolstoy but not without Beethoven.

@vova47 You know, I don't think he didn't have an ear for music.After all, he proclaimed Scriabin a genius! And among the rest, towards the end of his life, he judged Shakespeare to have written nothing of any real value and in the essay "What is art?" he questioned whether Beethoven was an artist!I think he only had the flaw of believing his taste to be an objective measure of value.

More than impressive... thanks a lot for this huge upload!

Yes, mr.Tolstoy, we all need music like this!!!! Poor man was a great writer, but had no ear for music.

SERGEI VASILIEVICH RACHMANINOFF ( 1 April 1873 – 28 March 1943) was a Russian composer, pianist, and conductor. Rachmaninoff is widely considered one of the finest pianists of his day and, as a composer, one of the last great representatives of Romanticism in Russian classical music.
Molto Bello!!! Thank you for sharing this video.
