HIGHLIGHT
During the early 20th century, Rachmaninoff remained a romantic stalwart resisting many new trends. However, his Symphonic Dances stands apart from extant examples of the genre by other composers, extending into philosophy and pondering the meaning of life, becoming a vehicle to express his longing for Russia and the romantic spirit. His Piano Concerto No.3 distills everything into virtuosic technique, rendering a colorful masterpiece that has stood the test of time in its Russian spirit and vitality.
