Description: Further DetailsTitle: Rachmaninoff Conducts Rachmaninoff: Symphony No. 3 / Isle of the Dead / VocaliseCondition: NewDescription: EDITORIAL REVIEWS AMAZON Rachmaninov's renown as a composer and pianist overshadowed his highly regarded podium abilities. He conducted little after leaving Russia and even turned down the music directorship of the Boston Symphony. The three recordings Rachmaninov made as a conductor, however, reveal a commanding rostrum presence. He conducts his own music much as he plays it on the piano, favoring lean, transparent sonorities, incisive rhythm, and cutting-edge accents that propel the music forward. What's more, the sound he gets from Stokowski's Philadelphians is more streamlined and ascetic in timbre than Stoki's richer, more sensuous palette. Rachmaninov's driving leadership allows no lingering over his big tunes, as he shapes his rhapsodic scores with architectural purpose. The sonics are dim, and the transfers could have been better, but that doesn't undermine the importance of these potent, composer-led performances. --Jed DistlerFormat: CDGenre: ClassicalArtist: Sergei RachmaninoffNo Of Discs: 1Record Label: Sony ClassicalEAN: 0090266253227 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
