Symphony no. 1 / 4 Etudes-tableaux
Album by Sergei Vasilievich Rachmaninoff & BBC National Orchestra of Wales & Tadaaki Otaka
Symphony No. 1 and a set of four Etudes-Tableaux are compositions by Sergei Rakhmaninov, written between 1895 and 1917. They juxtapose late-Romantic orchestral writing marked by dense textures, sweeping melodies and dramatic orchestration with piano studies that emphasise virtuosic technique, rich chromatic harmony and evocative, often brooding atmospheres, illustrating the composer's early ambitions and later development within the Russian romantic tradition.
First released: 1993
