He does, indeed! :-)

[Publius]

Around 5 years ago I did a retrospective of Rachmaninov's works at the Canteen. Sergei was able to do it all: chamber music, symphonies, concertos, opera and lieder.

His operas all came from Pushkin, his favorite author, who was viciously anti-Semitic. This is why Rachmaninov's operas have dropped out of the repertory. It's a shame. He was that good.

Sergei's art songs, however, survive. About 15 years ago we did some of his lieder at the Seattle Chamber Music Festival, and it was a hit. He was right up there with Schubert, Schumann, Brahms and Samuel Barber.
