Symphony no. 1 / The Isle of the Dead
Album by Sergei Vasilievich Rachmaninoff & Andrew Litton & Royal Philharmonic Orchestra
This release is a recording of orchestral works by Sergei Rachmaninov, drawn from compositions completed in 1895 and 1908. The music pairs a large-scale early symphonic work rooted in late-Romantic orchestral traditions with a programme tone poem that employs sombre, evocative orchestration and motifs reflective of the composer's development from youthful influence toward his mature harmonic language.
