Sergei Rachmaninoff

 A pretty late discovery. The first time I listened to Rachmaninov with intent and engaged with his music was in April 2019 when Concerto no. 4 in G minor for piano and orchestra was performed by Garrick Ohlsson and Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra.


I have bought Rachmaninoff's complete orchestral works conducted by
Pavel Kogan and Evgeny Svetlanov. Particularly, I have listened to Symphonies No. 1 and No. 2 and they are truly moving. I am listening to digital versions and I can just imagine how this pleasure would have been enhanced listening to these symphonies live or on vinyl. 

Maybe someday!
