This highly anticipated album-set brings together Valery Gergiev’s acclaimed cycle of the complete Rachmaninov symphonies. He leads the London Symphony Orchestra in performances recorded between 2008 and 2015. These masterful accounts are accompanied by his Symphonic Dances and and two symphonic poems by Mily Balakirev that echo the luxurious textures present throughout Rachmaninov’s music.

“The LSO plays, as always, splendidly for Valery Gergiev. The general excellence and detail of their performance is remarkable.” (BBC Music Magazine (Symphony No 1)

“Editor’s Choice ‘This Rachmaninov finds the London Symphony Orchestra warm and irresistibly propulsive… Andrew Marriner’s almost introverted account of the great clarinet solo is beautifully accompanied, a real heart-stopper” (Gramophone (Symphony No 2)

“The band is on its best form, the playing imbued with affection and nostalgia as well as verve and drive.” (The Sunday Times (Symphony No 3)

“These symphonic works will likely take first place of multichannel options.” (Audiophile Audition (Symphonic Dances)
