The orchestrated work was dedicated to the conductor Eugène Ormandy, who premiered it on January 3, 1941, at the helm of the Philadelphia Orchestra, two years before the composer's death. The composer's last opus, and unquestionably one of the most important in his catalog, the work seems to be a summary of Rachmaninov's art, and would become one of his most beloved pieces over the years. The title Danses might suggest a ballet; was it the composer's idea to ask his friend and compatriot Mikhail Fokine for choreography? Danses symphoniques is in fact a concert work, in which the use of dance rhythms does not really appear, apart from a waltz in the second movement. In this testamentary work, the composer seems to be taking stock of the thoughts, wishes and musical ideas that have been with him since the beginning of his career as a composer. The title "Danses symphoniques" is more akin to the idea of the movement of life, reflected in the titles of each of the dances, which metaphorically evoke three stages of life: birth ("Day"), adulthood ("Twilight") and old age ("Midnight").

Kirill literally rocks! Exciting performance where you added sonic depth on top of his impeccable structure. Now it's perfect, closer to what his orchestra really sounded and what an experience it was when even Shostakovich travelled via train from Leningrad to Moscow to hear Kirill and his (Moscow) orchestra perform Mahler's symphonies. Melodya didn't do him proper justice but you did. This is Kirill in front of us in Moscow Philharmonic hall and we are as time travelers disguised as citizens of Soviet Union listening and enjoying exciting once in a lifetime electric-like shock of great anthological historical music making. But since we don't understand Russian well or at all we must keep silent and play "dumb" or we're gonna use our time travelling gadgets in the form of pocket watches sooner than planned.

Only Kondrashin could make me forget the original Slatkin recording on Vox. This is absolutely brilliant.

@notaire2

Wunderschöne und spannende Intepretation dieser spätromantischen und perfekt komponierten Tänze mit farbenreichen doch perfekt entsprechenden Tönen aller Instrumente. Der intelligente und unvergleichliche Dirigent leitet das ausgezeichnete Orchester im veränderlichen Tempo und mit möglichst effektiver Dynamik. Wunderbar und atemberaubend zugleich!

@littlenomad

You guys provide such wonderful surprises every day!
