Beautiful piano score by reynir.bergmann@gmail.com

This recomposition of the music for piano is so well written and makes perfect balance with the solists and the choir. Also the piano music itself is amazing, really really beautiful and in many cases does more for the whole piece than the orchestra does.

The Icelandic choir Ægisif performed this piece with tis piano part. It was absolutely wonderful, perfectly written to be in balance with the choir and solists but also so beautiful where the piano is playing solo. The performance can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8hF3zs0R6AE0Mb2nbL9rPhmlfu09U0eH
Rachmaninoff’s brilliant setting of Konstantin Balmont’s translation into Russian of Edgar Allan Poe’s famous poem with thrill and delight! This new edition of the piano-vocal score features a new piano reduction (replacing the original one created by Alexander Goldenweiser, which even Rachmaninoff had difficulty playing!) and employs the user-friendly Russica™ Transliteration System. A recorded diction coaching resource is available from Musica Russica, both on disc and as a download.
