April 1, 1873 is Sergei Rachmaninoff’s birthdate. In lieu of actually researching and writing something, let’s celebrate with some of Sergei’s performances. We are so fortunate that both audio recording technology and player piano rolls were available during his lifetime, so there are several clips on YouTube to choose from.
