Rachmaninov began to study piano with his mother at the age of four.
He continued his studies at the St. Petersburg and Moscow conservatories under Zvereff and Arenski.
He is considered to be one of the greatest pianists of all times, but is also remembered for his compositions and as a conductor.
He fled from Russia, after the Communist Revolution in 1917, and he eventually based himself in the United States where he later became a citizen.
His highly successful, but exhausting career as a concert pianist enabled him to support his family but left little time for composition.
His music remains an indispensable part of Romantic repertory.
