A torrential performance that scorches the very brain—unprecedented intensity born from the extraordinary presence of this unique conductor. Rarely does one encounter a performance of such fierce passion. This release features a recording of Rachmaninoff’s Symphony No. 2 from his late years, when he showed no signs of decline, along with a rare excerpt from the Symphonic Dances.\n\n“Golovanov’s artistic style is in stark contrast to that of Mravinsky. While Mravinsky eliminated extraneous resonance as much as possible to produce transparent, delicate music, Golovanov was as rough and feverish as a savage, exuding a Russian aroma so strong it made your nose wrinkle.” “When discussing Russian conductors, Golovanov’s presence absolutely cannot be ignored.” “In Symphony No. 2, an unusually thick and robust mass of sound appears right from the opening, and the orchestra remains so heated throughout the second movement that it borders on chaos. The third movement is brimming with Russian sentimentality, and the rough, surging climax of the fourth movement is characteristic of Golovanov.” (From the commentary by Naoya Hirabayashi)\nKing International\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Altus","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53595663466785,"sku":"4543638004959","price":3490.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/4543638004959.jpg?v=1790482181","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/products\/4543638004959","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
