CD Reviews

Best Opus and best performance

Gotham Sanity | Gotham City, NY U.S.A. | 07/13/2006

(5 out of 5 stars)

"The Symphonic Dances Op. 45 and this 1984 Digital Decca recording may very well be the very best. See for yourself or researh this on the internet."

Still the most exciting Symphonic Dances on Record

Grady Harp | Los Angeles, CA United States | 02/09/2007

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This gratefully 1990 re-mastered CD of the original 1984 recording of Rachmaninov's thrilling 'Symphonic Dances' as conducted by Vladimir Ashkenazy with the Concertgebouw Orchestra Amsterdam remains the Gold Standard for excellence in every way - in brilliance of execution of this very difficult to conduct work, in sonics, and in emotional impact. There are many recordings from which to choose - including the Minnesota Orchestra with Oue, the Temirkanov, Jansons, and Pletnev versions - but for sheer excitement of this complexly orchestrated work, this recording has no peer.

Ashkenazy understands the inner voices and the rhythmic changes that make the three movements so unique and he gives full support to the incidental solo portions that are played with considerable finesse by the various chairs within this great orchestra. It is a phenomenal experience. And to complete the recording, Ashkenazy offers the seldom performed 'The Isle of the Dead symphonic poem' which is as deeply moving as the Dances are exciting. This recording is a must for those who love these too seldom performed Rachmaninov works, here given sterling performances. Highly recommended. Grady Harp, February 07
