edited by Kenneth Sillito-Sergei Rachmaninov is regarded as one of the most formidable pianists of all time and the last truly great composer in the Russian Romantic tradition. Vocalise op.34 no.14 is a beautiful melody. It is an all-time favourite orchestral piece that flows above the lush chords that begin this work and weaves in and out with additional themes. This creates a full arrangement true to the original. Being more musically demanding than technically demanding this delightful piece will find its place in many recitals. This particular work is for violin and piano accompaniment.

This work was commissioned by Barnes Music Club and first performed by Frances Mason and Ashley Lawrence on 25 October 1966. Duration: c. 19 minutes.
