And if I might, my Sergey R. favorite (very fitting for these times, I just realized).

No Quarantunes playlist would be complete without Rachmaninoff.

That man could add depth to even a Duck Dynasty episode.

fyi there's a handsome 12' statue of SR nearby to the World's Fair Park in Knoxville. It's in its own little sub-park so not easy to find (behind the amphitheatre, walk away from the Sunsphere and look to your right across the RR tracks).

Thank you both for the links! Great music!
