Rachmaninov: Piano Concerto No. 2 / Symphonic Dances

SKU: 03502

Price:
AU $8.95

Label: Decca Cat. No.: 476 7701 Medium: CD No. Discs: 1

Recorded early in Dutoit's career and originally coupled with the Schumann concerto, this is the first appearance on CD of his Rachmaninov Piano Concerto No. 2 with Alicia de Larrocha as a fine and poetic soloist. No romantic gesture is spared and the performance is at once languidly spacious and commanding. For sheen, luxury and sophistication few can beat the 'Decca/Philiadelphia/Dutoit' sound. From their traversal of the Rachmaninov orchestral repertoire comes this sensuous version of the Symphonic Dances - different from the rawer, more dramatic accounts of Ashkenazy or Kondrashin, but holding their own through sheer seductiveness coupled with glorious sound.

"A very acceptable slow and delicious Second Piano Concerto and a more than acceptable Symphonic Dances." - John Phillips, MusicWeb International.
