SERGEI RACHMANINOV (1873-1943): Symphony in D Minor "Youth", The Isle of the Dead, Op. 29, Symphony No. 1 in D Minor, Op. 13.

Description: Offered for the fourth CD recording of the 1891, very Tchaikovskian Youth Symphony although it's also interesting to note that this recording (and, presumably, more to come on Chandos) is associated with a new (1999) Serge Rachmaninoff Foundation, established by the composer's grandson Alexandre, and which is embarking on a mission to popularize Rachmaninov's music in Germany (!). BBC Philharmonic; Gianandrea Noseda.
