Russian Passion

Svetlanov provides another huge addition to the catalog. Like his recordings of the symphonies in this series this is a very passionate reading of Rachmaninov. The winds have an authenticity that is often missing from western sources. I have enjoyed this recording of Rachmaninov’s last orchestral work more than any other I have heard. The recording quality is excellent as well. Highly recommended.
