Where to find the organ arrangement of Rachmaninoff’s Isle of the Dead?

   Rather than look under the rubric of ‘Rachmaninoff’, Fierydog, you need to search for published work by Axel Langmann, for it is he who transcribed op.29 for organ. I frankly suspect that no such publication exists, and that Langmann has kept the transcription for his own exclusive use, but still, you just might get lucky.

   Failing that, you will need to contact the A&R dept of the record company for which Langmann recorded the transcription, Oehms Classics (cat. OC632), and they should be able to tell you a. whether it has been published at all, and b. whether Langmann could be approached to discuss any possibility of making a score available to you — which he would not likely do unless you have a performance already contracted for at which it would be heard — and how to reach him. You can reach Oehms Classics, in Germany, here:

   All the best, and good luck!

   You might try searching for it on mine, and and my colleague “OpernKatz”, website “Nibelheim”; it’s quite extensive, though neither of us has updated it for a long time: http://nibelheim.webs.com/classicalcatalog.htm

   Good luck,
