About this item

Vocalise is the last of Rachmaninoff's Fourteen Songs, Op. 34. Written without words, it was intended to be sung using only a single vowel of the performer's choice. With no words to carry forward a musical idea, Rachmaninoff had to use all of the subtlety, skill, and tools at his command. The long, lyrical melody that is at the heart of this work has given Vocalise a long-lasting popularity.

Vocalise op.34/14

Composer
Sergej Rachmaninoff (1873-1943)

Sergei Vasilievich Rachmaninoff (Russian pronunciation: [sʲɪrˈɡʲej rɐxˈmanʲɪnəf]; 1 April 1873 – 28 March 1943) was a Russian composer, pianist, and conductor. Rachmaninoff is widely considered one of the finest pianists of his day and, as a composer, one of the last great representatives of Romanticism in Russian classical music. Early influences of Tchaikovsky, Rimsky-Korsakov, and other Russian composers gave way to a thoroughly personal idiom that included a pronounced lyricism, expressive breadth, structural ingenuity, and a tonal palette of rich, distinctive orchestral colors. The piano is featured prominently in Rachmaninoff's compositional output. He made a point of using his own skills as a performer to explore fully the expressive possibilities of the instrument. Even in his earliest works he revealed a sure grasp of idiomatic piano writing and a striking gift for melody.
