Description
Sergei Rachmaninoff: A Modern Expression. Rebecca Mitchell's biography provides a fresh perspective on the life and work of one of classical music's most celebrated composers. Drawing extensively from Russian-language sources, Mitchell situates Rachmaninoff within his dynamic era, exploring how he and his music responded to an uncertain world. In this concise yet comprehensive assessment, Mitchell brings together the composer and his music, challenging common perceptions of Rachmaninoff as part of a bygone Romantic tradition. Instead, she reveals him as a profoundly modern expression of life in tune with the times. This biography will be of interest to both general readers and those familiar with Russian classical music, offering a nuanced understanding of one of the most popular composers of classical music.
