For those of you who enjoy Classical Music, this is my performance of the Prelude in B Minor by Sergei Rachmaninoff (whom my profile is named after).

It is based on the below painting by Arnold Böcklin, called "The Homecoming" (Die Heimkehr).

Rachmaninoff composed this work before he had to flee Russia in the October Revolution. If Moiseiwitsch's account is to be believed, it was his favourite prelude, as it reminded him of his home, which he lost forever.

I hope you enjoy.
