Description:

The Rattle & Berliner Philharmoniker's sixth visit to Japan in two and a half years in May 2016 will be accompanied by an affordable reissue of the regular edition. The rich lyricism - profound and fragrant - transports us to the romance of the 20th century. This is a collection of Rachmaninoff's lyrical works, released in the same year as "Spring Festival," and although he and Stravinsky are from the same country, they are the exact opposite in terms of their musical characteristics. Recordings: November 8-11, 2012 (Bells) & November 4-5, 2010 (Symphonic Dances)/Philharmonie, Berlin ●Commentary included ●Works from 2013
