| Classical Music for Aficionados Twoleftears,There is a wide volume range on all Currentzis recordings.probably deliberately so. | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados Edcyn,I, too, have two LP’s and one CD of that recording.And, yes, the CD also sounds terrific. | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados Newbee,Actually, Rachmaninoff became so depressed after the first performance of the First Symphony because of adverse criticism, he stopped composing for a while and never returned to it. It’s the First Concerto that he revised later on in life.... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados What’s interesting about the Rach 1st is that, even though it’s labeled #1, it was reworked by the composer later in his life, so that it is really representative of his maturity, and as such a truly great concerto. | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados Daniel Triifonov has written a wonderful new piano arrangement of the first movement of The Bells, Rachmaninoff’s favorite composition.Along with the First and Third Concerto, it can be heard on Idagio. | |

| Classical Music for Aficionados Just heard the most incredible performance of the Rachmaninoff First Concerto there is to my knowledge. Krystian Zimerman with Seji Ozawa and the Boston Symphony, on Idagio. I don’t know how this recording ever eluded me over the years.Brillian... | |
