Op. 27; Year: 1908; Genre: Romantic Period/classical
Off an on for the last week and especially today I've been having issues with the internet going out, but it's back on now and running fine, (knock on wood). Anyway, just in case it decides to go kaput again I'm making a quick pick.
I checked what was going on in music circa 1908, which is today's song pick number, and noticed this awesome piece of music from Rachmaninoff made it's debut in 1908. I also realized that I hadn't yet chosen one of his songs yet, so it seemed like an excellent time to do so.

Here is a performance of the piece by the Radio Filharmonisch Orkest, conducted by Gullberg Jensen on YouTube.
