"I am not one who was born in the custody of wisdom. I am one who is fond of olden times and intense in quest of the sacred knowing of the ancients." Gustave Courbet

Happy birthday, Rachmaninoff.


Sergei Rachmaninoff was born on this date in 1873.

Music is enough for a lifetime, but a lifetime is not enough for music.

Sergei Rachmaninoff

Ilona Domnich performs Rachmaninoff's "Before My Window," Op. 26, No. 10, accompanied by Marc Verter

... lost in rapture breathe in
their sweet fragrance, 
until their heady sweetness
makes my senses reel,
as they sing a wordless song of Love.
