Despite the fact that Sergei Rachmaninov is a well-known name in classical music, I can't identify him as the composer of any particular well-known classical piece or, at least, am unaware of any of the songs that he composed.
That is one reason that I was excited to find out that YourClassical's free piece for today, Friday (and extending through the rest of the weekend), comes from Rachmaninoff.
This piece is called, Vocalise in E minor.
The piece is heavy on the cello. But the notes are so high that my untrained ears cannot distinguish it from violin music. If there was a little bit more of it in the song than there is, I would consider it annoying.
This is still a relatively gentle piece, as reflected in the fact that this piece comes from a Naxos album called Chill with Rachmaninov.
