Moscow Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra, Kirill Kondrashin “A welcome return to the catalogue for this classic recording…Kondrashin’s dashing reading revealed
(The Bells) as a quintessentially Russian choral masterpiece – mercurial, exciting, sombrely moving.The
orchestral playing is vivid, and the soloists…convey the imagery of the verses with real immediacy; Above
all the chorus sings with magnificent fervour. The Symphonic Dances again are absolutely bursting with
energy…” Michael Scott Rohan, BBC Music Magazine | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, Robert Shaw GRAMMY Award Winner for Best Choral Performance Other Than Opera “Shaw's home territory here: as bright and chirrupy a Bells as you could wish for, show-casing the divine Renée Fleming. Harmonium's thrumming textures are well matched with Atlanta's unmistakably American choral tone, humming, heady and glowing.” BBC Music Magazine, December 2007 ***** | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |

Tatiana Pavlovskaya, (soprano), Evgeny Akimov (tenor) & Vladimir Vaneev (baritone) WDR Sinfonieorchester Köln, WDR Rundfunkchor Köln & Lege Artis Chamber Choir, Semyon Bychkov “Rachmaninoff was so often seen as the composer of pretty, rather banal melodies, but I believe we are now free enough to regard him more objectively and less ideologically. And if we do, it becomes apparent that this music was written by a man of great intellect, a master of musical form, a master of orchestral treatment, who continued to develop throughout the course of his life.” (Semyon Bychkov) “The WDR Sinfonieorchester of Cologne plays as if mesmerised by Bychkov’s baton” The Times | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |
