Rachmaninov: Orchestral Works (Incls Symphonies, Concertos & The Isle of the Dead)
St Petersburg Philharmonic Orchestra & Leningrad Philharmonic Orchestra, Mariss Jansons, with Mikhail Rudy (piano)
[ Warner classics / 5 CD Box Set ]
Release Date: Monday 10 November 2014
Rachmaninov's symphonies and piano concertos - with their expansive, surging melodies, their rich colours and their haunting air of melancholy - seem to capture the very essence of the Russian soul. The composer became an exile from his homeland, but for these recordings - made when Leningrad had once again become St Petersburg - conductor Mariss Jansons returned to the orchestra with which he had first learned his craft.
1001 Classical recordings you must hear before you die (1901-1950)
"Mariss Jansons is among the most respected musicians of his generation. He is a human dynamo, tireless in his pursuit of the highest musical standards." - David Gutman
