Recording of the Month

The Philadelphia Orchestra, Yannick Nézet-Séguin

Rachmaninov: Symphony No. 1 in D minor, Op. 13
Rachmaninov: Symphonic Dances, Op. 45

"There can be no underestimating the extraordinary legacy surrounding Rachmaninov and Philadelphia...[Nézet-Séguin's] ability to dig into that legacy while renewing its startling innovation makes for an exciting newness. Indeed, [his] account of the troubled First Symphony is as surprising and as thrilling as any I have heard since the much-lauded Ormandy account...An altogether stunning album." - Gramophone Magazine, February 2021
