Sergei Rachmaninov

Sergei Rachmaninov.

Russian composer, pianist, and conductor, one of the last great champions of the Romantic style of European classical music.

He went into depression in the late 1890s...and stop writting musice for years.

He began a course of therapy with psychologist Nikolai Dahl, who himself was an amateur musician; Rachmaninoff quickly recovered from his depression. Throught his recovery process, he wrote the Piano Concerto No. 2 (1900–1901), which was dedicated to Dr. Dahl. His greatest work after recovery..

The piece started slow and sorrowful, then progress thru to a more lively mood... It is absolutely a beautiful piece of work. I simply cannot stop listening to it..the mood and the emotion it puts you thru... it's amazing. Nothing short of perfection... I cannot imagine listening it at the concert hall.. tears will flow down for sure...

Music of such class often reminds one of the real meaning of "Music". It sets your emotion flowing.. It is almost impossible to find real music these days...
