Rachmaninoff: Complete Operas, Cantatas & Fragments

Less well known is that Rachmaninov also composed operas, songs and sacred vocal works, even if some specialists are well aware of this. The Harenberg Opera Guide (2000) has one page devoted to the composer and Francesca respectively. Perhaps the Russian language was an obstacle to gaining a wider audience, but at least Rachmaninoff is no longer ignored as an opera composer. (Profil)
