RACHMANINOV Symphony No. 3 & BALAKIREV Russia


“Gergiev's view is dark and stormy, his relatively slow pacing undercut by so many lugubrious inflections that the piece loses its overall shape.” --Gramophone Magazine, September 2015

“Gergiev and the LSO capture the score's expressive beauty, and also the sense of its transience as chill winter encroaches” --BBC Music Magazine, December 2015

“The band is on its best form, the playing imbued with affection and nostalgia as well as verve and drive.” --Sunday Times, 9th August 2015
