RACHMANINOV: Rachmaninov ou la pudeur Romantique (Or The Modest Romantic) - Mikhaïl Yurkov

Rachmaninoff's piano music is a world in itself but also an open window into the rest of his output. One of the greatest pianists of his time, who had to rely on that talent for a living after several failures as a composer, he poured all his soul into his keyboard music, with much passion and dignity.
