Rachmaninov, Sergei (1873-1943)

Description:

Along with "Preludes," this is a collection of Rachmaninoff's masterpieces for piano. If "Preludes" is an introduction to Rachmaninoff's music, "Pictures of Sound" is an advanced version. The blending of Russian tragedy, austerity, and solemnity, and the huge complex of sounds created by his extremely difficult and gigantic technique overwhelm the listener.
