I first heard the Rach 2nd symphony played by the Philharmonia Orchestra
under Kurt Sanderling (Teldec). It has since become one of my most
treasured CDs - full of passion and extremely moving. I recently added
the Ashkenazy/Concertgebouw Orchestra recording to my collection (got a
Decca-authorised "Made in Taiwan" version), but have a preference for
Sanderling's. I would love to get Rozhdestvensky's recording with the
LSO on IMP classics. Unfortunately this label is no longer available
in Singapore.
