Sergei Rachmaninoff was one of the most beloved composers of the twentieth century. His music is redolent of his Russian homeland, and it sings long, lush melodies that define the term “romantic.” Everyone who knows and loves his piano concertos will enjoy these lyrical and dynamic works for orchestra.
The “Symphonic Dances” in recent years have become one of Rachmaninoff’s most-performed scores. The five “Ètudes-Tableaux” were orchestrated by Ottorino Respighi from the brilliant originals for piano. “Vocalise” is one of the great classical melodies, and is hummable by everyone. Initial response from renowned reviewers is amazingly positive. Two critics have said this is the finest orchestral recording RR has ever made!
Selected by SoundStage! as one of the “Best Recordings of 2001” and chosen by THREE reviewers of The Absolute Sound magazine as one of the best releases of 2001.

Positive Feedback
I recall what a huge impact this album had on the audiophile community when it was first released in 2001. It continues to be a great recording with excellent performances of these works.
This is an example of some of the outstanding PCM recordings that NativeDSD has been missing out on and now is able to offer with their change in policy. I’m delighted to see it now available at NativeDSD.
If you don’t already have this, get it! If you have any interest at all in the music of Rachmaninoff, or in great orchestral recordings generally, you won’t be disappointed.
