Sir Simon Rattle conducts: Sergei Rachmaninov - Symphonic Dances | Berliner Philharmoniker

From the Lucerne Culture and Congress Centre (KKL Lucerne), 2014

“His orchestral works shine as brightly as his piano works. And when the Berliner Philharmoniker play Rachmaninoff, under the baton of Sir Simon Rattle, the Russian soul dances, too”, commends the renowned magazine "Der Spiegel". The Symphonic Dances, Op. 45 by Sergei Rachmaninoff are his final major work, blending nostalgia with bold rhythmic energy. This piece moves between lyrical beauty and dramatic intensity, reflecting the composer’s late style.
