Sergei Vasilyevich Rachmaninoff was a Russian composer, virtuoso pianist and conductor. He is widely considered one of the finest pianists of his day and, as a composer, one of the last great representatives of Romanticism in Russian classical music, with a personal idiom notable for its song-like melodicism, expressiveness, dense contrapuntal textures and rich orchestral colours.
