Sergei Rachmaninov

Sergei Rachmaninov (1873–1943) was the last great Romantic composer, describing the Romantic music to be timeless as it "reflect the warmth and depth of compassion in human nature." With the deep and resonant tones of the double bass, Adrian Eriksson is breathing new life into Rachmaninov's timeless melodies. The theme "Elégie" serves as an emotional thread of melancholy, remembrance and longing.
