Saint-Saëns: Cello Concerto No. 1 in A Minor, Op. 33 (October 2021)

David Loebel conducts the New England Conservatory Symphony in a performance of Rachmaninov's Symphonic Dances. Recorded live in Jordan Hall November 13, 2013 by Jeremy Sarna

Rachmaninov: Symphonic Dances-Non allegro

Third movement — Air à l'Italien — from Georg Philipp Telemann's Suite in A minor for Recorder & Strings. Performed by virtual ensemble of recorder, strings, and theorbo. The beautiful recorder is from Wallander Instruments. It is modelled, not sampled. Playing it on a wind controller (Akai EWI USB) is just like playing the real thing. Sloppy fingering can even cause squeaks just like on a real recorder. Amazing. (Those professional classical musicians I've talked to who don't know anything about virtual instruments really need to get their heads out of the sand, because the realism of these instruments is advancing rapidly. That's what I'm exploring here on SoundCloud.)

Rachmaninoff: Symphonic Dances – finale 4:28
Eiji Oue / Minnesota Orchestra
from RR-96 Rachmaninoff [with Etudes-Tableaux; Vocalise]

Now available in HDCD, HRx, and on LP from http://referencerecordings.com!


Widely believed to be the finest orchestral recording RR has ever made.

Sergei Rachmaninoff was one of the most beloved composers of the twentieth century. His music is redolent of his Russian homeland, and it sings long, lush melodies that define the term "romantic." Everyone who knows and loves his piano concertos will enjoy these lyrical and dynamic works for orchestra. The "Symphonic Dances" in recent years have become one of Rachmaninoff’s most-performed scores. "Vocalise" is one of the great classical melodies, and is hummable by everyone. Grammy® Nominated 2002– Best Engineered Album – Classical; Keith O. Johnson, engineer
