About This Song
About "The Tale of Tsar Saltan - Transcribed S. Rachmaninoff (1873-1943) : Rimsky-Korsakov: The Tale of Tsar Saltan - Transcribed S. Rachmaninoff (1873-1943): The Flight of the Bumble-Bee" by David Helfgott
The Flight of the Bumble-Bee, transcribed by Rachmaninoff, becomes a frantic chase through Helfgott's hands. Each chromatic buzz is a tiny panic, a sting of virtuosic adrenaline. Rimsky-Korsakov's insect becomes a metaphor for anxiety itself—beautiful, relentless, impossible to swat.
