More about his ethnic background:

Sergei Vasilievich Rachmaninoff was born on 1 April 1873 at a family estate in Novgorod Oblast in north-western Russia. It is unclear if he was born in the estate of Oneg, near Veliky Novgorod, or Semyonovo, near Staraya Russa, but the composer would cite Oneg as his birth place in his adult life. Rachmaninoff's ancestors were likely from Kazan, Russia as his surname is connected with the Turkic people. He was born into a family of the Russian aristocracy which according to the 17th-century Velvet Book, was of Romanian Tatar origin, descending from Vasile, nicknamed Rachmaninov, a son of the Moldavian prince, Stephen the Great.

Rachmaninoff had most likely manic depressive disorder, most of his compositions are beautifully sad. There is a certain aura around is music, such fatalism, mostly only found among other great Russian composers.

The Isle Of The Dead is one of my favourite compositions by Rachmaninoff:

It was inspired on one of the paintings by Arnold Böcklin:

[Columella]

Between Nordic and Noric. Peculiar features however.

[Hamlet]

E. Nordid pred., depigmentated by something else (Alpinid? Pontid?) is my guess.

[RN97]

Between Nordic and Noric. Peculiar features however.

There is nothing noric about this very doli man. Noric would mean he's dinaricized.

[Sacrificed Ram]

Nordid-Assyroid.

[Columella]

There is nothing noric about this very doli man. Noric would mean he's dinaricized.

Yes but, typology in real life doesn't apply well and most of us carry influences from more types. That's why textbook types (when we agree on what is textbook) are hard to find. Coon for example shows a textbook a few brachymorph Atlanto Meds.
This guy seems dominantly Nordic in type or equivalent however I must concede something in the face. Which could maybe be closer to a Noric.
(Dinaricization i guess besides. Brachycefaly and a triangular face could mean also other things: broad forehead, dominance of face segment compared to vault and relative "heaviness"of the face, sometimes face length and often ripid long nose segment compared to lower face. Short headedness, high rooted nose, close set eyes)

East-nordic.
