About

Used in films like Brief Encounter and Shine; on TV in The South Bank Show and Panorama; on radio in Semprini Serenade; and including some of the most famous melodies of the 20th century, Rachmaninov's romantic, passionate music is as popular today as it has ever been.

This 100-minute documentary film shot in Russia, Switzerland and America, is made with the full participation of the composer's grandson, Alexander Rachmaninov. Featuring soloists Mikhail Pletnev (with the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Claudio Abbado, and his own Russian National Orchestra), Dmitri Hvorostovsky and young stars Valentina Igoshina, Peter Jablonski and Nikolai Gergiev and the Orchestra and Chorus of the Mariinsky Theatre in St Petersburg, with which Rachmaninov was intimately associated.

Tony Palmer's film, with Rachmaninov's own words spoken by Sir John Gielgud, is a unique and loving insight into a world long gone, but definitely not forgotten.

"Great conductor meets great composer in a great film" The Chicago Tribune
