The Bells / Three Russian Songs

Album by Sergei Vasilievich Rachmaninoff & Koninklijk Concertgebouworkest & Vladimir Ashkenazy

This studio album presents choral-orchestral works by Sergei Rachmaninoff, featuring compositions from 1913 and 1926. Musically it juxtaposes late-Romantic orchestral textures with expansive choral writing, characterised by dense harmonies, broad orchestration and influences from Russian liturgical and folk music, and it reflects Rachmaninoff's position between his mature Russian-period output and his later expatriate years.
