Yannick Nezet-SeguinAbout
Born on 1 April 1873 in the Novgorod region of western Russia, Rachmaninov moved as a child to St Petersburg, where he enrolled at the city’s conservatoire. He subsequently flourished as a student at the Moscow Conservatory, graduated with its prestigious Great Gold Medal and, in 1893, saw his opera Aleko achieve great success. Plunged into depression four years later by the disastrous premiere of his First Symphony, he rebuilt his confidence with the help of Dr Nikolay Dahl and went on to produce such major works as the Second and Third Piano Concertos, Second Symphony, The Bells and two more operas, Francesca da Rimini and The Miserly Knight, over the next 20 years. He emigrated after the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917, ultimately settling in the US, where he focused primarily on his career as a soloist. He continued to compose, however, and the rich melodic invention of such late masterworks as the Variations on a Theme of Corelli (his last work for solo piano), the Paganini Rhapsody, Third Symphony and Symphonic Dances delighted audiences worldwide. Rachmaninov died in Beverly Hills on 28 March 1943.
