Rachmaninoff
The musical child of Russia's golden age, Sergei Rachmaninoff, was the last of the great romantics. Scorned by the musical establishment until very recently, his music received hostile reviews from critics and other composers. Conversely, it never failed to find widespread popular acclaim. This book investigates Rachmaninoff's intense and often melodramatic life, following him from imperial Russia to his years of exile as a wandering vituoso and his death in Berverly Hills during the Seond World War, worn out by his punishing schedule.
