RUSSIAN, SOVIET & POST-SOVIET SYMPHONIES

A Discography of CDs and LPs Prepared by Michael Herman

Sergei Rachmaninov (1873-1943)

Born at Oneg, Novgorod Region. He had piano lessons from an early age but his serious training in composition began at the Moscow Conservatory where he studied counterpoint with Sergei Taneyev and harmony with Anton Arensky. He began to compose and for the rest of his life divided his musical time between composing, conducting and piano playing gaining great fame in all three. After leaving Russia permanently in 1917, the need to make a living made his rôle as a piano virtuoso predominant. His 4 Piano Concertos, Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini and substantial solo piano works make him one of the world's most-performed composers. However, he also composed operas, liturgical choral works as well as other pieces for orchestra, chamber groups and chorus.
