He’s buried two minutes away from me.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

My composer 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Great documentary, thank you

"The day of anger" is false! "Dies irae" is the "day of wrath", of God's judgment, the "day of the Lord"!
You can't avoid biblical truth, and Rachmaninoff didn't! Rhetorical tricks are useless. For that day will come, the day of the wrath of the Lamb, like everything else that must and will come before it. For it is God's word and his ultimate righteousness. Wrath, not "anger".
And Mr. Jurowski, being a child his time, obviously isn't "obsessed" with truth. But ignorance does not overturn the truth.

სერგეი!.. დიდი სიყვარულით საქართველოდან ...

Uh... Ruth Slencynscka is still perfoming and knew and studied with Rachmaninoff himself.

Wow, matsuev makes this music sound hideous.

Great documentary but does the host realize how RIDICULOUS that toupee looks???

Don't destroy him by making a documentary about him, he has to be felt, that is worth more than 1000 documentaries.

Why do composers bother to learn music theory when journalists will come along and insist said composer must have been under duress to have written something so sad? Composers manipulate notes at their pleasure. Journalists will always be overly mellow dramatic.

Could anyone provide a complete
list of the music excerpts?

I really like this video.

The film makers really knew what they were doing when deciding to end this documentary with that final descent from the choral basses to the earth-shaking low note of B flat

Really wonderful!! Thank you!! I've always loved the 2nd Piano Concerto!! 🥰🎶

Good

What you like to do ? - like to be sad , I said -

Three words for Rachmaninoff GREAT LEGEND ICON

Amazing Documentary

Thank you for the upload. A very instructive and heartwarming documentary.

"شخص انعزاليّ ،ذو تفكير عميق"

I find it interesting that people generally deplore Tolstoy's turn towards religion and politics. I suspect it is because it makes them feel uncomfortable, especially well-fed BBC presenters. Without Tolstoy there would probably be no Gandhi or Martin Luther King: he gave us a thoroughly well thought out and articulated theory of non-violent resistance. He wanted and argued for social justice throughout Russia during the repressive Tsarist regimes.

Thank you for this great documentary about such a great composer. I truly enjoyed that. (netherlands) 🌷🌷🌷

Gorgeously done

"Romantic machine guns, nuking the audience" That's perfect. I didn't know much about this composer but the tears have been coming down listening to these beautiful and heart wrenching melodies.

I love Rachmaniniv, cant stop crying everytime I Iisten to his music.

Вампиров не хватает к видеоряду

Hands down, my favorite composer! Time stops when I listen to him and his music makes me glad I’m alive. ❤❤❤❤

Rachmaninoff ist der Komponist, der mich wahrlich berührt und dessen Musik ihren Weg in meine Seele gefunden hat. Sie weckt Emotionen, die ich sonst nie gefühlt habe. Sie begleitet mich durch jede Liebe, durch jeden Kummer, durch jede Trauer, durch jede Freude und vor allem durch jede Sehnsucht.
Mit seiner Musik verbinde ich jetzt schon in jungem Alter so viele Erinnerungen, die mir Gänsehaut bereiten. Ohne seine Musik wäre das nicht so.
Es ist mir eine riesige Ehre, diese Musik wertschätzen und sogar selber spielen zu dürfen.
Das zweite Klavierkonzert ist das schönste Werk, welches ein Mensch geschaffen hat. Zusammen mit dem Adagio aus der zweiten Sinfonie.
Es lebe Rachmaninoff!

he sure loves to drag his cloth glove firmly across hundred year old priceless scores.

I first saw James Rhodes in another BBC documentary about Chopin. So glad to see him now in this Rachmaninoff documentary.

Thank you
