Orchestre Appassionato
Integrale Rachmaninov, Vol. 2
Following the birth of the journey evoked in the first volume, the second part of this complete collection dedicated to the Russian giant brings together the Piano Concerto No. 2, La Vocalise and Symphony No. 3. Under the baton of Mathieu Herzog, the Appassionato Orchestra, which draws all its finesse from its chamber music origins, reveals a music that breathes, where the clarity of the writing allows all the richness of Rachmaninov's work to surface. The limpid precision and mastery of Nikita Mndoyants, winner of the Cleveland Competition in 2016, dispel any romantic heaviness and restore to the Concerto its tension and complexity. A reading that does not seek to impose Rachmaninov, but to let him resonate fully in a clear and profoundly accurate way.
