Split musicians and their guests are commemorating the 150th anniversary of the birth of the great composer and pianist Sergei Rachmaninoff. Pianist Vsevolod Dvorkin, violinist Evgenia Epshtein, and cellist Denis Shapovalov join forces to perform works by Sergei Rachmaninoff.

 

Tchaikovsky was one of the composers who strongly influenced Rachmaninoff, and in memory of Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninoff composed his Second Elegiac Trio in D minor, Op. 9. This trio is inscribed as a tribute "In memory of a great artist," and its structure is closely related to Tchaikovsky's Piano Trio in A minor (which Tchaikovsky himself composed in memory of Nikolai Rubinstein). Rachmaninoff later revised and shortened the Trio for a later edition, which never gained popularity outside of Russia.
