Now Hear This "Rachmaninoff Reborn" | PBS
Sergei Rachmaninoff was a Russian aristocrat who lost everything in the Bolshevik revolution: his home, his family fortune, even his musical inspiration. Fleeing Russia with his wife and daughters, he landed in New York and reinvented himself as a modern American artist.
Host Scott Yoo explores Rachmaninoff’s American journey and the new technology that made it possible with Russian pianist Anna Polonsky and Ukrainian-American photographer Sonia Goydenko. He listens to, and recreates, some of Rachmaninoff’s original piano rolls and recordings and visits his “paradise in exile,” the Villa Rachmaninoff later built on Lake Lucerne to remind him of his childhood home, with Russian pianist Yevgeny Sudbin and his daughter Bella.
Places visited: Lake Lucerne, Switzerland; New York, Brooklyn, New York; New Jersey.
