"Music is enough for a lifetime, but a lifetime is not enough for music." - Rachmaninov
Rachmaninoff's music is an island of nostalgia in the world of music history. The turbulent turn of the century, both politically and in the arts, was full of upheaval and reassessment of previous traditions. This composer wrote in the style of the previous generation of romantic composers and has gained a legion of adherent fans of his work through its immediate accessibility; that is not to say that there are not rewards in the study and close listening of his exceptional craft. Rachmaninoff was also one of the last performer/composers in the tradition of the previous generations--Mozart, Beethoven, Liszt, Paganini, etc. The well known recording made with the Philadelphia Orchestra conducted by Ormandy are true gems; it is not often that we can hear the classical music composer perform their works. In addition to this vintage recording, we explored in the recent recording of Stephen Hough and the Dallas Symphony. Hough is a remarkable pianist and our library of his recordings continues to grow. Here is the our design created for the Piano Concerto No. 3.
