Sergei Rachmaninov The Last Russian Romantic 1873-1943 t fit with all this is the score sergei rachmaninov's piano Concerto No be thoughtof as ``Tchaikovsky plus.'' rachmaninov was a celebrated pianist, and his http://www.azstarnet.com/public/packages/reelbook/153-4039.htm
Extractions: ``Brief Encounter,'' that magnificent 1945 tear-jerker, is a small masterpiece of subtlety and realism in all respects but one. The acting of Celia Johnson and Trevor Howard is restrained but moving, David Lean's direction is a model of the craft, and Noel Coward's story is a touching account of the guilt and frustration surrounding a stymied love affair. The one element that doesn't fit with all this is the score - Sergei Rachmaninov's piano Concerto No. 2. While the main characters maintain the English tradition of keeping the upper lip stiff while everything else sags, Rachmaninov's music trudges darkly across the soundtrack, every emotion fully indulged. Because it doesn't fit, it's actually quite an effective contrast, and a fine illustration of the power of Rachmaninov's music. The last of the Russian Romantics, Rachmaninov was born in 1873 and had the misfortune of living to 1943, a time when Romanticism in the arts was denigrated and the only music taken seriously was rarefied and abstract. After half a century, Rachmaninov has been forgiven for having been a living fossil, the last representative (aside from Richard Strauss) of musical ideals that had been out of fashion since World War I.

Extractions: One hot July day, I was having my modest half pint of Adnam's Best at the Three Greyhounds, 25 Greek Street, run by the statuesque Roxy Beaujolais, from Sydney, Orstrylia, and one-time a stalwart of Ronnie's door staff, when in walked our editor. Ms Beaujolais automatically went for a certain optic, poured a measure, placed it in front of Mr G., and looked at me for the dosh. Plus ca change! 'You look a bit peaky', I said solicitously. 'So would you be if you'd had my sort of morning. Bloody technology! The Word Processor did a moody on me and I had to scrabble through the vegetable scrapings, empty plonk bottles and yoghurt cartons in the trash bin to retrieve my original longhand jottings and drafts. Give me the quill and pewter pot of ink, old son. You know where you are with these. Then the CD packed up on me. Give me your wind-up gramophone and steel needles, soft, medium and loud, and lovely old 78s. Again, you knew where you were.' 'And that's not all, old son. I popped into the Nellie Dean to enquire after Bill Colyer's health and found him, verbally speaking, in rude health. Spout uttered more words in half an hour than you'll find in War and Peace and the Decline and Fall of The Roman Empire put together. That man was vaccinated with a gramophone needle. I staggered out into Dean Street and almost immediately met up with a Soho pest - that infernal jolly boy who stops total strangers in the street and exhorts them to smile. ''Come on'', he says, ''cheer up, smile, today's smile day''.'

Extractions: Rachmaninov at Locust Point, New Jersey, his summer home from 1922-23 Rachmaninov was a notoriously stoic and quiet man who divulged little. The following anecdotes, stories, and quotes will hopefully give you a greater idea of his character. " In my own compositions, no conscious effort has been made to be original, or Romantic or Nationalistic, or anything else. I write down on paper the music I hear within me, as naturally as possible...What I try to do, when writing down my music, is to make it say simply and directly that which is in my heart when I am composing. " " Music is enough for a lifetime; but a lifetime is never enough for music." " It goes without saying that technical proficiency should be the first accquistion of a student who would be a fine pianist." " Well, there's [Josef] Hofman...and then there's me. " -When asked about the most important pianists of the 20th century. " ...the performer must know how to approach it...because if it slips by, then the whole construction crumbles...and does not convey to the listener what must be conveyed. " -On the " culmination " (his term) of a performance " My hands, my precious hands "

Extractions: It was a strange match indeed to which the Malaysian audience was treated on November 10 at the Dewan Filharmonik Petronas a 19 year-old Chinese pianist and an almost 200 year-old Russian orchestra. But for the large crowd that turned up to listen to this "East meets West" pairing, it was a match made in Heaven. Fresh from a performance in Taipei the night before, this is the St. Petersburg Philharmonics second visit to KL and also their last stop before returning to St. Petersburg. The evening saw a return to the orchestras roots as it featured a selection of three pieces by Russian composer Sergei Rachmaninov who, according to Music Director and Chief Conductor, Maestro Yuri Temirkanov, once played with and conducted this very orchestra.
