About
This musical portrait features:
- Rachmaninov’s virtuosic and popular Prelude in C sharp minor inspired by the rolling bells of the Russian Orthodox Church, and Prelude op.23 no.6, written for his first daughter, Irina, as an outpouring of tenderness and nostalgia;
- Tchaikovky’s Troika – recorded three times by Rachmaninov after several meetings, leaving an indelible impression on the young composer;
- Liebesleid (Love’s Sorrow) in which Rachmaninov pays homeage to his violinist, friend and frequent musical partner, Kreisler;
- Etude in C sharp minor by Scriabin, Rachmaninov’s childhood friend and composer to whom he devoted many of his performances.
