- Summary:
- In his time, Rachmaninoff knew equal success as a pianist and conductor. Born in 1873, the great Russian musician became world-famous at 19. He went on to write a body of work that carried the lyricism of Tchaikovsky and the technical brilliance of Liszt into the twentieth century. In this newly revised biography, Norris captures the spirit of Rachmaninoff's music and his often tormented life.
