CD Reviews

A superb performance of Rachmaninov's finest music.

Miles D. Moore | Alexandria, VA USA | 02/19/2007

(5 out of 5 stars)

"As much as I love the piano concertos, the Paganini Variations and the solo piano music, Rachmaninov's Symphonic Dances are my favorite of all his works. In their lushness, drama and variety, they showcase Rachmaninov's genius as a melodist and orchestrator like nothing else in his oeuvre. He truly makes the orchestra dance! The 1992 recording of the Symphonic Dances by Charles Dutoit and the Philadelphia Orchestra is as fine as any I know, and you also get an excellent performance of the Symphony No. 3 on the same disc. This is music to stir your blood and excite your imagination on a cold winter day."
