MORESCHI


By Andreas Wehrmeyer

Sergey Rakhmaninov was born in Novgorod, Russia and studied piano from the age of six under Tchaikovsky. In 1892 he established his own reputation as a composer with the Prelude in C'sharp minor. After the 1917 Revolution he emigrated to the US. In the West he became renowned for the cold stoicism of his performances. Today his work is considered the last musical expression of Romanticism, his significance as a composer cannot be overstated.

Written by Andreas Wehrmeyer, who is a researcher and teacher of russian music. Introduced by the British pianist Aaron Shorr.
