I simply cannot believe that you just uploaded the exact same thing I was looking for this morning. I love Rachmaninoff since I am 16 and my biggest desire for New Year was having a "The Best of Rachmaninoff" video made by you. What a coincidence, thanks for this gift to my ears

[tamashoracsek]

Rachmaninoff was a bridge between romance and avantgarde, with a russian symphonic behavour. The frozen heart of an arctic man with the warmth of a lover on spring time. Truly a genious of music.

[Ethereal]

I don't want much, I just want the person reading this to be healthy, happy, and loved. Wishing you a good day my friend

[danara]

Rachmaninoff was my favorite composer since 2006 when my music teacher asked me to write an essay about his life. His life's beautiful sadness reflected on my life too.
I am from Russia and moved to the US; when I am listening his music, I see my beautiful home country.
Rachmaninoff is not only beautiful music, but also the Love to Nature, People and Home. Rachmaninoff's music is in my heart...

[GuardianGamerable]

Rachmaninoff has always spoken to me in a way no other composer has. I love this era of classical music

[nicolemallory]

While I have heard of Rachmaninoff, this is my first time hearing the majority of his pieces. I've been missing out. Absolutely beautiful. Great to listen to while studying, doing yoga, or before bed. It's so relaxing and the emotional undertones of some of these pieces had me in tears. Thank you for sharing.

I was at a book market last night in Shimbashi, Tokyo filming a Youtube video. I found CD's and grabbed one out of the box and it was Rachmaninov. I laughed in disbelief as Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is one of my favorite films and they mention him. I instantly bought the CD in new condition for 200 Yen. Now here I am, here with you today, listening to his wonderful music.

[valka]

I just turned this on to play in the background while I'm working.. but I found myself so touched and overwhelmed by the music and I simply can't waste this heavenly melody like that.

It should be enjoyed and listened to on its own...

[jbpeltier]

I can't thank you enough for giving me a great Rachmaninoff compilation I can always come back to! I genuinely don't know if I could name a composer whose work is more dreamy and lovely.

[DressedForDrowning]

Rachmaninoff ... standing alone in the meadows ... comes up with some beautiful melodies ... walks home to write them down.

[asjkl]

I think the most romantic, pasional and sweet composer ever

[NatašaG_I]

My 14 month old daughter loves this 💕 Keeps her happy and calm 🙃

[tuyetle]

Thanks for sharing this with us. Beautiful and calming.

[RRAX]

First time ever listening to this man.
I'm loving the peace.

[calmhealingmeditationmusic]

To anybody who's reading this, I pray that whatever is hurting you or whatever you are constantly stressing about gets better. May the dark thoughts, the overthinking, and the doubt exit your mind. May clarity replace confusion. May peace and calmness fill your life. 💓

[emmadubois]

I have always loved music from Rachmaninoff. Even though I didn't even know they were from Rachmaninoff, I just connected with his music immediately. Now I know these are from Rachmaninoff. I'm thrilled. ♥

[johnnyzhao]

Rachmaninoff’s pieces are awesome .I wish I could play this

[RubyFisher-cp]

The production on this song is top-notch. The layers of instrumentation create such a rich sound that you can get lost in.

[AI-rtysta]

Szczęśliwego Nowego Roku, pełnego pięknych wspomnień i niezapomnianych chwil!

[Indigo-z]
