| Best recording Rachmaninov Piano Concerto 4 Concertos 1 and 4 are the ones i most listen to. #1 has so much Russian soul, and 4 has powerful piano passages with beautiful orchestral composition.

| Short notes on Sibelius Seven Symphonies Ondine has released (11-27-02) Segerstam/Helsinki PO recording of Sibelius Sym 1/7. From hearing the 1 minute Real Player clips, this will be a truly outstanding performance. The Helsinki under Bergland is a good set, however all the recordings ar... | |
