Rachmaninov: Symphonies Nos. 1-3 (Complete)

"His recording of the Rakhmaninov Second shows not only that he has welded his Welsh players into an absolutely first-rate ensemble but also that he is an interpreter of the late-Romantic repertory who will bear watching in years to come ... Nimbus has done a simply superb job of recording at Swansea's Brangwyn Hall. There is a sense of space and warmth from start to finish and first-rate lateral and depth imaging." Stereo Review, US

“The three-disc set is a must, not merely because it offers such a broad conspectus of Rachmaninov's music but also because Jansons and the St Petersburg Philharmonic give such masterly accounts of it. Jansons harnesses the music's wistfulness, coaxes beautifully inflected lines in the instrumental solo-writing, and brings his legendary clarity and energy to bear on the rhythmic impetus of the outer movements.” The Telegraph, 24th May 2008

“The great modern Rachmaninov cycle.” (Répertoire)

“I am delighted that Evgeny Svetlanov’s work has at long last been published in such a varied and structured form. I hope that this collection will become a gift for all those who love, understand and respect this wonderful, unique maestro. I would like to wish you an enjoyable and perhaps unexpected encounter with Evgeny Svetlanov, whose work has now become a universal artistic legacy.” Nina Svetlanova
