About Rach
What is it about Rachmaninov’s music? It is metaphysical…
it has a soul of its own… and once you hear it, it is intravenously instilled in your being for eternity…It takes you to unknown heights…but makes you wallow in pangs of sorrowful depths… It suspends you in the air, and forsakes you in sweet abandon into a vast space…
Did Rachmaninov pierce himself with a quill and write music
with the blood he drew? Did he furiously bang on the bells of Moscow until they were reduced to iron notes on an empty sheet? Were the whole notes originally drops of tears? Did he extract his manic-depressive brain cells and magically skewer them in musical staves?
Or did he simply fall in love?
