Has anyone listened to works by the composer Sergei Rachmaninov?
I heard of him on the radio and he piqued my interest.

Yes.
Hey, Alexei. Do you know how to spell his last name in Russian?
Is it: Рахманинов
or: Ракманинов
or something else?

I LOVE Rachmaninov! I think I introduced jeff to him as well. All night vigil is good but all I own is isle of the dead, and you HAVE to love the fourth movement of it....
