"... a spectacular First Symphony ... the performance is extremely compelling and boasts an especially powerful and ominous coda ... this is a great performance of a work difficult to pull off ... highly recommended ..."
- Fanfare
"Slatkin fearlessly brings into focus the symphony’s originality ... these are impressive, highly desirable interpretations ... invaluable for the insights they bring so animatedly and poignantly into Rachmaninov’s world."
- Gramophone
"The first thing you’re likely to notice is the transparency of sound. Naxos does a fine job of providing vivid sonics with excellent balance of the various instrumental sections and solo instruments … it’s all great ... the sound really allows you to hear everything and the result is a total package as satisfying as anything on the market ... essential to anyone who loves this music."

This is the final installment in an acclaimed series of recordings of Rachmaninov's symphonies from Leonard Slatkin and the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. The album features the Symphony No. 1, now considered one of the great Russian symphonic works of the late 19th century. The programme is completed with The Isle of the Dead, a vivid and powerful symphonic poem.
