Episode Four of The Forgotten Melodies Podcast is now online at www.forgottenmelodiespodcast.com.
On this weeks show, Danny Grimwood plays pieces by two Russian composers, Lyapunov and Rachmaninov.
Sergei Lyapunov (1859-1924) studied under Balakirev and was heavily influenced by him. He was a pianist of the highest virtuosity and a composer of mostly solo piano works, although he also wrote two symphonies, two piano concerti and a symphonic poem.
Sergei Rachmaninov (1873-1943) was probably the last of the Great Romantic composers and his skills as a pianist were legendary. He left Russia following the 1917 Revolution and eventually settled in the USA, where he spent the rest of his life.
