Summary of This Score
The Joy Of Rachmaninoff brings together 17 remarkable pages from the great Russian Romantic Sergei Rachmaninoff, in a collection alternating iconic pieces and discoveries, between original works and newly arranged versions. This collection emphasizes what defines the composer's signature: long singing lines, dense writing, a sense of harmonic atmosphere, and immediately recognizable expressiveness.
Throughout the pieces, one finds essential milestones of the repertoire, notably excerpts from Preludes (Op.23 and Op.32), Morceaux de Fantaisie (Op.3) including the Elegy in E-flat minor and the famous Prelude in C-sharp minor, as well as pages from Moments musicaux (Op.16) and Études-tableaux (Op.33). The selection also opens up to larger-scale works, such as a movement from Piano Concerto No.2, an excerpt from Sonata No.2 (Op.36), and themes from the Rhapsody On A Theme Of Paganini.
The variety of sources (piano, orchestral, vocal, and choral) provides a true "best of" color and allows approaching Rachmaninoff from multiple angles, from intimate collections to symphonic breadth. One will also encounter famous vocal and sacred pages, such as Vocalise (Op.34), excerpts from Vespers (All-Night Vigil), as well as The Bells. An excellent choice for musicians wishing to rediscover Rachmaninoff's universe in an accessible, concentrated, and musically inspiring format.
