1) Audio CD Music Symphony 2/Vocalise/Sea & Gulls by Delos. Be advised that this recording of the Rachmaninoff Symphony No. 2 is full of cuts. While it is true that Racmaninoff would occasionally put cuts into his music when he felt he was in front of a particularly unresponsive audience (he did this with his solo piano music, too), he did not intend to make these permanent cuts in his music. Any recording of this work should be complete, as the composer intended.
If the Oregon Symphony wanted to record this music with cuts, they should definitely have announced this on the cover of the CD. Any attempt to cover up this fact is deception.¤ Page Updated: Robert N. Goolsby, 20-Nov-2008, 013491307121, WUB-8 |
