Rachmaninov: Symphonic Dances - de Waart (1973)

Sergej Rachmaninov
Symphonic Dances Op. 45
Caprice bohémien Op. 12

London Philharmonic Orchestra
Edo de Waart
Philips 6500 362

An irresistible recording by the great Dutch Maestro and the warm-toned London Philharmonic at its best. One of the most beautiful accounts of Rachmaninov's late masterpiece (composed in 1940 in the U.S.) and the first recording of the earlier, colourful Caprice bohémien.

This album was bought in 2007 at Classical Exchange, Notting Hill Gate, London, a real haven for the CD and record archeologist...
