RACHMANINOFF: The Isle of the Dead; Symphony No. 1 – London Philharmonic Orchestra/ Vladimir Jurowski – LPO
LPO’s recent offering is an excellent rendering of two significant works by Rachmaninoff!
PROKOFIEFF: Lieutenant Kije Suite; IGOR STRAVINSKY: Song of the Nightingale – Chicago Sym./Fritz Reiner – RCA Victor/Analogue Productions“The Reiner Sound” = MAURICE RAVEL: Rapsodie Espagnole; Pavane for a Dead Princess; SERGE RACHMANINOFF : Isle of the Dead – Chicago Sym./Fritz Reiner – RCA Victor/Analogue Productions
Two more excellent additions in what I hope will be a complete series.

RACHMANINOV conducts RACHMANINOV = Isle of the Dead, Op. 29; Vocalise; Symphony No. 3 in A Minor, Op. 44 – Philadelphia Orchestra/Serge Rachmaninov – Naxos Historical
We tend to forget that Serge Rachmaninov possessed conducting skills on a par with his keyboard and compositional abilities.
