Paris unveils awful Rachmaninoff statue
NewsThe Rachmaninoff Conservatory of Paris, founded in 1923 by the exiled Fyodor Chaliapin and Alexander Glazunov, has inaugurated a statue of its namesake.
The sculptor is Besik Solomonashvili and the image looks more like FDR than any Russian composer.
It is supposedly the only statue of Rachmaninoff is western Europe.
(Nothing in Lucerne?)
UPDATE: Dingeman van Daal has sent us this much better likeness from the Rachmaninoff home in Lucerne.
