Listening Through The Dictionary of Composers and Their Music
Sergei Rachmaninoff (1873-1943)
Bio
Sergei Vasilyevich Rachmaninoff was born in the Novgorod Governate in Russia. He showed promise on the piano as a boy and entered the St. Petersburg Conservatory at age 10. He also studied at the Moscow Conservatory where he met Scriabin. His compositions drew both support (from Tckaivkovsky) and derision (by Cui) but ultimately he achieved international renown as a pianist, composer, and conductor.
