Sergei Vassilyevich Rachmaninoff   (1873 - 1943)

My favorite composer! He studied at the St. Petersburg and Moscow Conservatories and left Russia in 1917 to live in Switzerland and then the U.S.  Most of his works were written before he left Russia, but afterwards he produced...  The Rach 3! (as named in the movie Shine).

(musical selection:   "Piano Concerto No. 3")
