Sergei Rachmaninoff (1873-1943) composed his Third Symphony in 1935-1936. It was composed in Switzerland and first performed in the USA where the composer generally lived and worked as a concert pianist. The piece displays Rachmaninoff's trademark Romantic expression, melodic gift and harmonic richness, as well as a strong Russian influence. It also has a more transparent, lighter scoring than earlier works. This arrangement is for chamber orchestra and is the complete work unabridged.
