Symphony No. 2 / Vocalise
Album by Sergei Vasilievich Rachmaninoff & Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra & Jesús López Cobos
This album is a recording of orchestral and vocal works by Sergei Rachmaninoff, drawing on compositions first completed in 1907 and 1912. The music exemplifies late-Romantic Russian orchestral and vocal writing, characterised by sweeping melodies, expansive harmonic language and lush orchestration, and it occupies a central place in Rachmaninoff's output as representative of his mature post‑turn-of-the-century style.
First released: 2001
