This SACD hybrid disc will change your perception of Rachmaninoff's Symphony No. 1. Gergiev and the London Symphony Orchestra finally complete their series of Rachmaninoff symphonies. Gergiev's performance of Rachmaninoff's great works, including the Symphonic Dances, are now available. Gergiev's performance is astonishingly great. Symphony No. 1 was Rachmaninoff's ambitious work, but its premiere in 1897 was an unprecedented failure, and Rachmaninoff became severely neurotic and the work was sealed. Although there are quite a few recordings of the work available today, it has an image of a sharp work without the sweet melody of the 2nd Symphony and other works. Gergiev's performance, however, is as fresh as if we were hearing it for the first time. There is no sense of snarl throughout, but rather the supple and delicate phrasing that is characteristic of Rachmaninoff is alive and well. Rachmaninoff's unique propulsive Allegro is also exquisite. The piano's difficult passage-like passages are flawless and unambiguous, thanks to the LSO's virtuosity. The sound is often gorgeous, reminding us again of Rachmaninoff's excellent orchestration. The highlight is the long coda of the finale. The finale is a long coda that never slows down and is even glorious and moving.It will change your preconceived notions of this work. The coupling is Balakirev's symphonic poem \"Tamara\". Using musical material from Gergiev's hometown of Caucasus, it depicts an Orientalist world that anticipates Rimsky=Korsakov's \"Scheherazade\". Balakirev's unique high voltage is a perfect match for Gergiev. It can be enjoyed as a dazzling, extremely colorful picture scroll.
