I started this week out by taking care of a sick husband, only to become sick myself a few days later. There’s nothing like a yucky sickness to throw off your world! The music that has been keeping me happy throughout this sickness are the concertos and preludes of Sergey Rachmaninoff. If you are not familiar with Rachmaninoff, you must make yourself familiar with his music! Gorgeous, romantic, rich, full, emotional, and oh-so-lovely are the works of Rachmaninoff. As a pianist, I find his music a beast to play, but always always rewarding. Listening, however, is never anything BUT rewarding!
Give him a listen and tell me what you think!

Its so peaceful!
That is such beautiful music, thank you for introducing us to it! There’s a 1 day flu going around – hope you are better now!
Rebecca, I am happy that I introduced you to Rachmaninov. Don’t forget the symphonies and tone poems!
