Composer:
Sergei Rachmaninov

Conductor:
Semyon Bychkov

Background: This sensational 2 DVD set also includes an exclusive performance of Rachmaninov's lush Second Symphony. In The Bells, Rachmaninov devised a highly original form that suited his inspiration perfectly: a symphony (with the conventional four movements) with three soloists, chorus, and large orchestra.

The Symphonic Dances op.45, completed in 1940, were Rachmaninov's last composition. Originally scored for two pianos, it is now often heard in the orchestral version which is remarkable for its use of the alto saxophone as a solo instrument. The Dances combine energetic rhythmic sections (reminiscent of Stravinsky's Rite of Spring) with some of the composer's most typical lush lyric melodies.
