There is a building a few blocks from where I live and Rachmaninoff lived. He resided there for many years in the Penthouse apartment.
(In Manhattan) Some years ago I was walking down the street and was studying the conductor’s score to the Rachmaninoff’s 3rd piano concerto
and while stopping at a red light, I looked up and saw the metal plack that said Rachmaninoff had lived there etc. I felt it was a good omen. the concert went very well.
Rachmaninoff lived on the upper west side of New York City. In a Penthouse apartment near 84th street and West End Avenue.
I remember, one time, some years ago, I was preparing to conduct my orchestra (Manhattan Symphonie) a Rachmaninoff piano concerto, while walking down the street, at 84th and West End Avenue, with a pocket score of his third piano concerto in my hand, I stopped at the ‘don’t walk sign’ and I looked up and happened to spot a plaque on the corner of the building’s wall that said ‘Rachmaninoff lived here and what he composed during his residency there. I believe it was the last years of his life spent there. For me, it was a magical moment and a good omen that I was on the right path. The concert was a success.
