The Isle of the Dead / Symphonic Dances
Album by Sergei Vasilievich Rachmaninoff & Vladimir Mikhailovich Jurowski & London Philharmonic Orchestra
This recording pairs two orchestral works by Sergei Rachmaninov, composed in 1908 and 1940. The pieces illustrate Rachmaninov's late‑Romantic harmonic language and rich orchestral colour, with the earlier work employing sombre, evocative motifs and the later one reflecting rhythmic drive, orchestral modernism and a culmination of his orchestral style late in his career.
First released: 2nd May 2005
