Classical Music presented on the first Sunday of every month.
To be added to or removed from the First Sunday Music ping list, FReepmail HoosierHawk.
Definately my favorite composer. Big influence on popular entertainment with his music used in various movies and his lovely melodies inspiring pop music.
He was a real music reactionary at his time with other composers turning their back on Romantic music and Western music traditon going back several centuries.
Sort of interesting his fan base keeps growing over the years.
I made this fan video of one of the Great Expectations, not the crappy American made one with Ethan Hawk and I hate America Pattrow, adaptations using Rachmaninoff as background music:

The Second Symphony is one of the greatest treasures of classical music. Rachmaninov outdid himself here.
Post a link to the Cello Sonata, which is contemporaneous with the 2nd Symphony. The entire piece is magnificent.
He struggled with depression and somehow triumphed, something we can all be grateful for.
Thanks for an excellent choice.
