'Romance for violin and piano is a short, reflective piece that exploits the lyrical qualities inherent in the combination. Originally written for a very young but talented violinist, Romance travels through numerous moods andcolours within a continuous musical development of the opening material. At first gentle and reflective with increasing dramatic outbursts outlined by the violin sforzandi and parallel sixths in the piano writing, numerous shortsolo passages in both instruments culminate in a fiery climax. Quickly subsiding into the calmer yet now more melancholy strains of the earlier stages of the piece, the ending is somewhat incomplete. This seems to suggest acontinuous turn of events alluded to in the music.'

This stunning arrangement captures the expanse and beauty of Rachmaninoff's original full orchestra version. Deeply moving harmonies seem to melt into each other as the famous melody weaves its way through the work. The soaring musical lines capture the heart and will leave your audience breathless. A true masterwork and an equally powerful arrangement.
