Sergei Rachmaninoff was one of the most beloved composers of the twentieth century.   His music is redolent of his Russian homeland and it sings long, lush melodies that define the term "romantic".   Everyone who knows and loves his piano concertos will enjoy these lyrical and dynamic works for orchestra.

The SYMPHONIC DANCES in recent years have become one of Rachmaninoff's most performed scores.   The five ÉTUDES-TABLEUX were orchestrated by Ottorino Respighi from the brilliant originals for piano ("The Sea and the Seagulls" gave us our cover image).   VOCALISE is one of the great classical melodies and is hummable by everyone.
