Vadim Repin	violin

Rachmaninov	The Isle of the Dead
Sibelius	Violin Concerto
Rachmaninov	Symphony No. 2

The Isle of the Dead depicts the ghostly ferryman of Greek mythology rowing the souls of the departed to judgement, with the motion of the oars vividly captured by the 5/8 metre. Sibelius' dark-hued Violin Concerto follows. Sibelius was a violinist himself and exploited his knowledge of the instrument in this dramatic and atmospherical work, which ends with a thrilling polonaise. Rachmaninov's Second Symphony is a richly-scored masterpiece. The first three movements are all to varying degrees based on the same falling theme, while the finale is an outburst of fanfares and celebration, confirming the transition from darkness and doubt to joyous affirmation.

"A lyrical ardour, expressive range and technical assurance that are well-nigh miraculous." International Record Review on Vadim Repin
