Camille Saint-Saëns: Carnival of the Animals: #13 "The Swan" arr. by Alexander Siloti
Recording 1924 


Sergei Vasilievich Rachmaninoff,[1] also commonly spelled in English as Rachmaninov, (1 April 1873 [O.S. 20 March]–28 March 1943) was a Russian[3] composer, pianist, and conductor. He was one of the finest pianists of his day and, as a composer, perhaps the last great representative of Romanticism in classical music.
