Sergy Rachmaninoff was the last great figure in the tradition of Russian Romanticism and a leading piano virtuoso of his time. He is especially known for his wonderful piano concerti, and the piece for piano and orchestra entitled 'Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini’. Rachmaninoff's music, although written mostly in the 20th century, remains firmly entrenched in the spirt of the 19th century musical idiom. He was, in effect, the final, grand, expression of the tradition embodied by Tchaikovsky - a melodist of Romantic dimensions still writing in an era of explosive change and experimentation. A wonderful composer and fine pianist.
