Symphony No. 1 / The Isle of the Dead
Album by Sergei Vasilievich Rachmaninoff & Российский национальный оркестр & Mikhail Pletnev
Symphony No. 1 / The Isle of the Dead is a pairing of orchestral works by Sergei Rachmaninov, composed in 1895–1897 and 1908–1909 respectively. The music contrasts the expansive, Romantic symphonic writing of his early career with the darker, image-driven orchestral textures of the later work, illustrating his evolving command of orchestration and shifts in Russian orchestral practice around the turn of the 20th century.
