Composer of the Week: Sergei Rachmaninov (1873-1943)


Not that I am suggesting that this week will be relaxing, but hopefully some of Rachmaninov's lush orchestrations and sublime piano music will help us all de-stress if things get a bit too much!  From his piano preludes to his symphonies and piano concertos (not to mention his Vespers), his Rachmaninov's music is full of superb melodies, harmonies and orchestrations.  Find out more about him here and download the playlist from here or see below.
