Eugene Ormandy conducts Stravinsky & Rachmaninov

Fine performances, especially of Rachmaninov’s Second Symphony, illuminated by Ormandy’s personal recollections of the composer. It is doubtful whether seeing Ormandy’s impassive face adds much to the Infernal Dance from The Firebird. Christopher Dingle
