Composer of the Week

Sergei Rachmaninov (1873 - 1943)

Life in Exile

Although Rachmaninov's life in exile was self imposed, he kept in touch with the artistic developments in Russia. He was careful to avoid making any political comment about the regime back home, but in January 1931 he was a joint signatory, along with two academics, on a letter to the New York Times, condemning the Soviet authorities' attitude to education and taking them to task over other social issues.

The result was a ban in Russia on the study and performance of Rachmaninov's music, which wasn't lifted until 1934. Rachmaninov did put down roots in his homes in America and Europe, but nonetheless he remained Russian in spirit and created his own version of his homeland wherever he lived.
