Études-Tableux, Vocali

與拉赫曼尼諾夫的三首交響曲相比，他的交響舞曲在知名度方面略遜一籌，因此版本並不多，目前最被討論的，就是大植英次指揮的RR版本。在這張錄音中，打擊樂的動態錄的相當令人滿意，弦樂和木管的聲音帶有異國風味的柔性，銅管延伸的實感也很有聽頭，低頻的躍動感也保持發燒大廠的水平。「練聲曲」的管弦樂版本繞樑三日，而「音畫練習曲」的管弦樂版本同樣罕見，大植英次將這些曲子弄得色彩繽紛，很有味道。

Sergei Rachmaninoff was o ne of the most beloved composers of the twentieth century. His music is redolent of his Russian homeland and it sings long, lush melodies that define the term "romantic". Everyone who knows and loves his piano concertos will enjoy these lyrical and dynamic works for orchestra.
The SYMPHONIC DANCES in recent years have become o ne of Rachmaninoff's most performed scores. The five ÉTUDES-TABLEUX were orchestrated by Ottorino Respighi from the brilliant originals for piano ("The Sea and the Seagulls" gave us our cover image). VOCALISE is o ne of the great classical melodies and is hummable by everyone.
