Aleko

Album by Sergei Vasilievich Rachmaninoff & Dmitri Kitayenko

Aleko is an opera by S. Rachmaninov, composed in 1892. The work employs late-Romantic orchestration, expressive vocal writing and Russian folk-influenced melodies, and occupies a place in Rachmaninov's early output as a first mature venture into large-scale dramatic composition.
