Rachmaninov's final work - and the only one composed fully in the United States - was the Symphonic Dances. It embraces jazz elements and ecstatic expressiveness and is both a valediction and a summation of his creativity. The Isle of the Dead is a lamentation utilising a variant of the Dies irae - it is a stirring, transformative work that begins and ends in stillness.
