Rachmaninoff: The Last of the Great Romantics

by Michael Scott

Book Overview

A revealing insight into Rachmaninoff's intense and often melodramatic life

The musical child of Russia's golden age, Sergei Rachmaninoff, was the last of the great Romantics. Scorned by the musical establishment until very recently, his music received hostile reviews from critics and other composers. Conversely, it never failed to find widespread popular acclaim, and today he is one of the most popular composers of all time.
