RACHMANINOV: SYMPHONY NO. 3; SYMPHONIC DANCES - KOGAN, MOSCOW STATE SYMPHONY

Sergei Rachmaninov

Symphony No.3
Symphonic Dances
Moscow State Symphony Orchestra
Pavel Kogan, conductor

“Kogan is clearly intent on delivering out and out superheated performances. In this he is aided by a red-blooded orchestra and by an unruly and sumptuous resonant acoustic that does nothing to play down the thunder. … Overall this is a generous and inexpensive disc with big-hearted performances fully engaged with the elemental Russian temperament. They are captured in fine technicolor recordings that are eminently suited to these broodingly coloured and impassioned works.”
— Rob Barnett, Musicweb International
