Rachmaninoff and His World Bullock Philip Ross
A biography of composer Sergei Rachmaninoff, published in collaboration with the Bard Music Festival.One of the most popular classical composers of all time, Sergei Rachmaninoff (1873-1943) has often been dismissed by critics as a conservative, nostalgic holdover of the nineteenth century and a composer fundamentally hostile to musical modernism. In particular, the essays document his involvement with intellectual and artistic circles in prerevolutionary Moscow and how the form of modernity they promoted shaped his early output. The original essays collected here show how he was more responsive to aspects of contemporary musical life than is often thought, and how his deeply felt sense of Russianness coexisted with an appreciation of American and European culture.
This volume represents one of the first serious explorations of Rachmaninoff's successful career as a composer,
