And certainly Grainger emerges as far more than pretty, cosy or genteel; more a case of romantic, folksy, dangerous, exultant, tumultuous and, yes, sentimental." MusicWeb |
SERGEI RACHMANINOV
MARBECKS COLLECTABLE: Rachmaninov: Francesca da Rimini BBC Singers, BBC Philharmonic, Gianandrea Noseda [ Chandos Gianandrea Noseda Rachmaninov series / CD - released 29/Oct/2007 ] "This is an excellent way of coming to know a flawed but interesting piece of Rachmaninov, and it is much helped by excellent presentation from Chandos" Gramophone |
