In 1893, the 20 year old Sergei Rachmannov wrote six songs as his Opus 8. I’ve managed to find a few videos with English translations of the poems.

Rachmaninov: “The Water Lily”, Op. 8/1

This video is Dmitri Hvorostovsky in his prime. He just nails this song!

”A Dream”, Op. 8/5

”A Prayer”, Op. 8/6

Excellent - Dmitri rules!



Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)
