The Isle of the Dead / Symphonic Dances
Album by Sergei Vasilievich Rachmaninoff & London Symphony Orchestra & André Previn
This album is a recording of orchestral works by Sergei Rachmaninoff, composed in 1909 and 1940. The music is rooted in late-Romantic orchestral language with rich, brooding harmony, varied orchestral colours and strong rhythmic drive, and it sits near the end of Rachmaninoff's output where he pairs late-Romantic texture with more modern harmonic and rhythmic elements.
