Adrian Eriksson Explores the Depths of Rachmaninov’s Music in his First Solo Album
”Music must first and foremost be loved. It must come from and be directed by the heart. Otherwise, it cannot hope to be lasting, indestructible art.”
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.
