Simply Superb

I have another recording of this symphony that I considered quite good, but this one made me feel that I was truly hearing the symphony for the first time. It’s that excellent, so well done that it lifted Rachmaninoff 1 into first place as my favorite Rachmaninoff symphony.

Perhaps Ashkenazy's Finest Recording.

Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2011

When I saw that one of the reviewers I most respect (though we frequently differ on recordings of the Romantic composers) loved this interpretation as well, I decided to submit my first review. This is in every way my favorite recording of ANY symphony by a Russian composer. I acquired it when it was first issued some 20 years ago, having exposure only to Rach's 2nd and 3rd symphonies at the time. I was simply blown away. First of all, the sonics are resplendent, hardly unusual for the near-perfectly engineered recordings of the Concertgebouw, and although I am much more a fan of Ashkenazy than the gentleman from Santa Fe, I have to concede that the quality of his interpretations are highly variable and always unpredictable. I was not prepared for the astonishing depth of this reading. What Ashkenazy achieves in the Rach. first symphony that I do not hear other conductors even attempt is a glorious, sustained presentation of the chant-like, mystical themes scattered throughout the symphony, finally erupting into a finale that can only be described as an exaltation. The conclusion is very measured, even elegant, and yet rapturous and blazingly triumphant - not a moment of trumped up histrionics, no tossed-off swift tempos, yet enormously exciting. Ashkenazy infuses the entire performance with an intense spirituality and nobility too seldom heard in performances of the great Russian symphonies. And I have come to regard this as the greatest of them all, its unpromising origins notwithstanding. For the curious listener who may not wish to buy the box of Ashkenazy recordings of the three symphonies, note the Amazon price of a used copy of just the first symphony. Hard to beat!

A rediscovered masterpiece

Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2012

Verified Purchase

Rachmaninov's First Symphony is one of the many fascinating masterpieces that were very nearly completely lost to posterity. Written in 1908 its style is very different to many of his later more "romantic" works and seems quite a lot more brittle, ironic and modern, though not quite yet Stravinsky. Maybe because of this it was panned by the critics. R. withdrew it. It was lost during WW1 and did not appear again until 1940.

It's an intriguing work, however, and it's more than interesting to speculate what path Rachmaninov's music might have taken had it not been intially so misunderstood. I can't comment on the performance as it is a unique piece and it is the only one I have ever heard, but I can't imagine anyone finding it a bad one.
