From the creators of Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812, Preludes is a musical fantasia set in the hypnotized mind of Russian composer Sergei Rachmaninoff. After the disastrous premiere of his first symphony, the young Rachmaninoff suffers from writer's block. He begins daily sessions with a therapeutic hypnotist, in an effort to overcome depression and return to composing. "Inspiring. Incorporating wildly diverse sources - classical, folk, electro-pop - Dave Malloy makes beautiful music." - The New York Times. "An embarrassment of riches." - The New Yorker.
