Rachmaninoff Documentary - The Harvest Of Sorrow: Monday YouTube Fix

Monday YouTube Fix
Written By Andrew Hitz

Here is the final of four documentaries I've posted in the month of January.  This is a look into the fascinating life of famed pianist and composer Sergei Rachmaninoff.  The music alone interspersed throughout is worth the time to watch this.

This documentary is narrated by renowned conductor Valery Gergiev with Rachmaninoff's diary entries read by Academy Award winning actor John Gielgud.

He has quite the life story and knowing his background brings a new depth to his music for me.

Enjoy!

An interesting documentary about the life story of Sergei Rachmaninoff through the use of home movies, concert footage, and interviews. Valery Gergiev as narrator and John Gielgud voices Rachmaninoff's diaries, directed by Tony Palmer.
