Fourteen Songs, Op. 34: XIV. Vocalise (Rachmaninoff, Sergei)

Vocalise is a vocal exercise without words or a song title.
Rachmaninoff composed this for his friend’s vocal training, but this Vocal exercise is also played with a lot of instruments.
This is often played with original vocal music, and also arranged with instrumental music such as violin, cello, etc. because the melody is beautiful.
In particular, the song ‘Russian’ feels like a flowing river.
I played the Rachmanioff vocalised arrangements with violin and piano.
