Description

Rachmaninov Symphony No.2

Catalogue Number: ALC 1031

“The Second is simply tough to bring off in the studio, and Kogan’s quite fresh account got me listening again, after a string of disappointing runs-though on disc. … This Alto CD makes an excellent bargain choice, given the generous couplings.”
— Paul Ingram, Fanfare
