Holst’un “Gezegenler” süiti, her bir gezegenin mitolojik ve astrolojik özelliklerinden ilham alarak bestelenmiş, yedi farklı bölümden oluşan eşsiz bir orkestral …

Domenico Scarlatti’nin Fa minördeki K. 466 Sonatı, bestecinin klavye repertuarındaki en derin ve teknik olarak zorlayıcı eserlerden biridir.

Joseph Haydn’ın “La Création” (Yaratılış) eserinin “Deuxième Partie” (İkinci Kısım) 20-26 numaralı bölümleri, bu büyük oratoryonun en etkileyici kısımlarından birini oluşturur.

He returned with a determination to write a Russian sacred piece that would be a lasting contribution to the orthodox repertoire.

Clickety clack. That’s all Sergei Rachmaninoff heard as he practiced his new Piano Concerto No. 3 in advance of his big American tour, during which he would debut the piece. That’s because he finished the piece just before departing for the U.S. and didn't leave himself time to practice. He had to make do with practicing on a silent keyboard on the…

Sergei Rachmaninoff just wasn't hungry -- literally and figuratively. So, after the success of his Piano Concerto No. 2, he took the less obvious route for a composer and dedicated himself to conducting and teaching. He just wasn't craving that next big hit. It was rising political unrest that forced him into composing again.…

Crouched low. Hiding in a fire escape backstage with his fingers plugging his ears. This is how Sergei Rachmaninoff experienced the premiere of his Symphony No. 1. What should have been a triumphant night for Rachmaninoff turned into a nightmare which only worsened once the review appeared in the newspaper. "Diseased and perverted harmonizations." …
