Rachmaninoff was the best... seamlessly incorporates various older styles with new. I also love how well he can transition feelings/melodies throughout his songs in a fresh, truely progressive way.

T H I S piece is amazing. it [almost wickedly] tickles my soul.

death approaches slowly like a boat rowing towards an island. death - the end of this ridiculous world. a long hopeful lullaby

And, just this past April, the great Philadelphia Orchestra went bankrupt!! Rach himself called them "the greatest orchestra in the world", and he should know! Culturally, how far has the American public fallen, in 'way in less than 50 years!! Read the book, "Mozart in the Jungle: Sex, Drugs, and Classical Music" by Blair Tindall, for more "amazing facts"...

This is my favourite peice of music ever! I especially love the section when you can just hear the faultering heart beat of the Basses and then the solo violin sparkles into heart yearning sadness (the composer himself I think) so sad but the hopeful key at the end is a fitting end to a truly genius work.

What a treasure! I love this piece quite a time but hearing this a bit different version just as Rachmaninov himself intended it is beyond wonderful. Thank you so much!

Why do you want to associate old good music with bad contemporary films ? What if I wanted to hear teenage pop songs (his name doesn't deserve to be quoted here) on "Citizen Kane" or "Rebel Without a Cause" ?

C'est fort , quelle puissance quelle force musicale !!!!
Sa musique colle à 100% avec la peinture de l'artiste BÔCKLIN l'île aux morts.
