CD ReviewsI love Rachmaninoff, but this was pretty disappointing. 02/24/1999 (3 out of 5 stars) "The Isle of the Dead, despite its intriguing name, really can't compare in quality to some of Rachmaninoff's more famous works (his piano concertos for instance). It had some of Rachmaninoff's sparks of genius, but the ratio of wonderful sound to mediocre sound was too low, in my opinion.They must not have had the song samples on this web site when I ordered this CD, because I hadn't realized that the Etudes (originally written for piano) had been orchestrated, thereby destroying much of the texture that had made them beautiful. If you're looking for Rachmaninoff's Etudes Tableux, I recommend the CD with Nelson Goerner on piano (it also contains Sonata No. 2 Op. 36).I give this CD 3 stars because listening to Rachmaninoff is always enjoyable, but there are so many better Rachmaninoff CDs out there."
