Info for Rachmaninoff: Symphony 1 + Symphonic Dances



The Philadelphia Orchestra & Yannick Nezet-Seguin are embarking on another project of Rachmaninoff's works, presenting his 3 Symphonies & other orchestral works. This album entails the composer's Symphony No. 1 with the Symphonic Dances, thereby combining one of his earliest compositions with his very last one. Nezet-Seguin's was keen to match these two works thus not only presenting a time span of more than 40 years of the composer's life, but also him partly using the same musical mater.
