Rachmaninoff Symphony No. 2 In E Minor, Op. 27 - Eugene Ormandy / The Philadelphia Orchestra

A great one in a great performance with great sound

Of the many, many recordings I have of this work, this one instantly went to the top of the list. Ormandy and his orchestra play this as if their souls depended on it. And the HDTT sonics in DXD are Irreproachably audiophile-excellent! All the others, from Boult to Gergiev, many of them superb, are now sharing second place. Why listen to anything except the best of the best?

A very fine transfer, detailed soundstage and clear timbre for every sections.

Rachmaninoff Symphony No. 2

Fantastic sound from the strings of the Philadelphia Orchestra! Rachmaninoff was present at the recording sessions, lending to a very original interpretation that has very few successors.
