RACHMANINOFF SERGEI SERGEI RACHMANINOFF IN HIS ...

Sergei Rachmaninoff (1873-1943) - the most celebrated pianist of his day and the composer of
some of the most enduring classics of the entire repertoire. He was  in contrast to the
generous expressiveness of his music and his piano-playing  essentially a private person with a
famously reserved  unsmiling platform manner. However  in these interviews  collected and
annotated here for the first time  he candidly voices his thoughts about his own compositions
and the art of playing the piano  his harsh responses to much of the contemporary music around
him  reminiscences of his years in Russia and his reactions to living and working in the USA
and Switzerland  together with a range of insights into aspects of his professional career and
his family life. These interviews reveal fascinating new perspectives on a much-loved composer
and musician  and valuable glimpses of what lay behind the public image. Joint edition with the
Serge Rachmaninoff Foundation
