RACHMANINOFF: SYMPHONIES 2 & 3 ISLE OF THE DEAD

Yannick N�zet-S�guin/The Philadelphia Orchestra -"Rachmaninoff: Symphonies Nos. 2 & 3; Isle Of The Dead" Verve Label Group; Deutsche Grammophon; Classical - The culmination of Yannick N�zet-S�guin's Rachmaninoff orchestral cycle with his "Fabulous Philadelphians". Reviewing the previous issue with Symphony No.1 and the Symphonic Dances, Gramophone lauded N�zet-S�guin's "ability to dig into the extraordinary legacy surrounding Rachmaninoff and Philadelphia while renewing it's startling innovation... All the qualities of the Rachmaninoff/Ormandy era have spirited their way back to create a kind of faded opulence... An altogether stunning album."
