"Usual Miracles"

Here is a music video consisting of a piece I have just composed and photography by Rich Fletcher. It is called "Usual Miracles".

"Piano Originals" - The Album

My first CD "Piano Originals", released independently earlier this year, was very well received. It consists entirely of original piano compositions performed by me. Play time is over an hour.

If I had to summarize what others have said about this album in one word, it would be "relaxing". Many who have purchased this CD, find that they listen to it when they:

* paint

* want background music for a party or a gathering

* have an open house

* want to relax (used in a school for developmentally challenged)

* put grandchild to sleep

* do computer work

* meditate

This is some of the music that I play at restaurants, parties and other functions.

"Piano Originals" is available for sale at a low price of $10 plus any shipping costs that may be applicable.

Speeches and Music

It is no secret that music can color a speech and strengthen its emotional appeal as well as bring out the significance of the moment.

Below are two great speeches that were given yesterday. I invite you to listen to both with my composition "November 4, 2008" playing in the background.

Barack Obama's speech on November 4, 2008



John McCain's speech on November 4, 2008

Welcome!

Welcome to Yuri Rashkin's music page!

Having received a remarkable amount of positive feedback on my music, I have decided to take a more pro-active view in promoting it. This webpage is a part of that new approach.
