Part 1
Rachmaninov's symphonic poem, written in 1907, was suggested by a painting by the Swiss artist Arnold Bocklin. This depicts an island with towering rocks and cypress trees towards which, across a calm sea, a ferryman is steering a small boat. The ferryman is Charon, and the white shrouded figure standing in the bows is the shade of a departed sou] who is being conveyed to the Isle of the Dead. H.R.
