I only bought it because I love what Petrenko is doing at the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic.Rachmaninov - warm clear sound, with something extra! I found some of it in this recording, but he clearly can do more.

All the soloists are superb - the clarinettist in particular, so important at several places, is wonderful. No one spoke of promise after a concert or two; they were already floored.
