Unquestionably one of the most popular composers of classical
music, Sergei Rachmaninoff has not always been so admired by
critics. Detractors have long perceived Rachmaninoff as part of an
outdated Romantic tradition from a bygone Russian world, aloof from
the modernist experimentation of more innovative contemporaries
such as Igor Stravinsky. In this new assessment Rebecca Mitchell
re-situates Rachmaninoff in the context of his time, bringing
together the composer and his music within the remarkably dynamic
era in which he lived and worked. Both in Russia and later in
America, Rachmaninoff and his music were profoundly modern
expressions of life in tune with an uncertain world. This concise
yet comprehensive biography will interest general readers as well
as those more familiar with this giant of Russian classical music.
