For me, Rachmaninoff is the most overrated, overplayed of any composer in concert halls and radio today. A lot of the adulation of Rachmaninoff is because of the political environment it was written, not the quality of the music, as he was a refugee of, and defiant reactionary against, the modernist Bolshevik rebellion, which has now fortunately collapsed and disappeared.
Most of his music is mediocre. What melodies do turn up are often trite, and there is a lot of inconsequential filler. But then, I'm not an expert on Rachmaninoff's music.
