Digital Booklet
|
"... a spectacular First Symphony ... the performance is extremely compelling and boasts an especially powerful and ominous coda ... this is a great performance of a work difficult to pull off ... highly recommended ..."
- Fanfare
"Slatkin fearlessly brings into focus the symphony’s originality ... these are impressive, highly desirable interpretations ... invaluable for the insights they bring so animatedly and poignantly into Rachmaninov’s world."
- Gramophone
"The first thing you’re likely to notice is the transparency of sound. Naxos does a fine job of providing vivid sonics with excellent balance of the various instrumental sections and solo instruments … it’s all great ... the sound really allows you to hear everything and the result is a total package as satisfying as anything on the market ... essential to anyone who loves this music."

The programme is completed with The Isle of the Dead, a vivid and powerful symphonic poem.
