SERGEI RACHMANINOV
The Isle of the Dead, Op.29
Symphonic Dances, Op.45
Gramophone Magazine's chosen recording of both works in their November 2012 survey of Rachmaninov recordings.
"The present accounts recorded at the Royal Festival Hall in 2003 and 2004 find the orchestra in responsive form and can hold their own against most rival versions, not only as performances but as recordings. The sound in both is finely detailed and wide ranging, the aural perspective lifelike and truthful, and there is striking presence. In these dedicated performances both works cast a powerful spell."
