@IMAWriterRobJ Thank you for your comment. I love the music of Rachmaninov and this Symphony with this conductor is beyond words. Yes I also had the the recording with Andre Previn and The London Symphony and it is perhaps one of the finest performances of this work. My opinion only. Regards Trevor.

I have the album...yes album where those exact words were posted as liner notes.
It also said the audience weeped during the performance.
I do as well.

Damn that was really good!

The orchestra obviously know and respect Maesto Previns' association with this work through the LSO recording. A magestical recording of magnificent music

@hootersnooter Where would Rachmaninov be without musicians? Unknown.

NHK has surprised me. watched this, and a snippet of them playing pics at an exhibition under gergiev. very powerful sound.

When Andre Previn conducted this Symphony with the London Symphony Orchestra many years ago in Moscow and what was then Communist Russia a woman approached him at the stage door and offered him a gift of an orange. The significance of the orange? She had presumably queued for hours to buy the orange and it was her way of saying thank you for the Rachmaninov.

Rubbish logenisti To see a great conductor - and Previn is a great conductor sitting calmly before a score and still getting a wonderful performance is little short of miraculous. I had the privileged of seeing and hearing Klemperer and Böhm in similar circumstances. It was truly majestic. If you believe that conducting is about being a good circus performer, perhaps you should study music.

@svekonla You are entitled to any opinion about this performance--except the one you have posted. Whether or not you like the performance is a different matter than to deem it, in effect, not legitimate. Artists bring differing perspectives--that is all they can have. And we who observe them have differing taste.
There is absolutely no room for your kind of assessment.



Very effective performance.
It very sad to seem him in such weak condition, but Maestro Previn does well nonetheless.

A beautiful performance of wonderful intense classical music....very talented orchestra and priceless video of the famous Andre Previn. Thank you for getting all the movements put together like you did! Muito obrigado!
