Symphonic Poem after a painting by Arnold Böcklin. Composed by Sergei Rachmaninoff. Arranged by Simon Scheiwiller. Baton Music Orchestral Series. Symphonic Poem after a painting by Arnold Bocklin. Full Score. Duration 20:00. Baton Music #BM563-SCORE. Published by Baton Music (BF.BM563-SCORE).

Rachmaninov composed the symphonic poem 'The Isle of the Dead' (Die Toteninsel) op. 29 in 1908 in Dresden, inspired by a black and white print of the eponymous painting by Arnold Böcklin that he has seen in 1907 in Paris. He describes Charon rowing his boat over Styx to lay the dead to rest on the island. Death is omnipresent through the recurring 'Dies Irae' motif. When Rachmaninov first saw the original painting, he was disappointed and stated that he would probably not have composed the work when had he seen the colored painting earlier.
