5/5. With Donald Macleod.
Although Rachmaninov's life in exile was self-imposed he kept in touch with artistic developments in Russia. He was careful to avoid making any political comments about the regime back home, but in January 1931 he was a joint signatory along with two academics of a letter to The New York Times condemning the Soviet authorities' attitude to education and taking them to task over other social issues. The result was a ban in Russia on the study and performance of Rachmaninov's music that wasn't lifted until 1934. Nonetheless, he remained Russian in spirit and created his own version of his homeland wherever he lived.
The Migrant Wind, Op 32 No 5 Joan Rodgers (soprano), Howard Shelley (piano)
Symphonic Dances Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, conductor Vladimir Ashkenazy Three Russian Songs, Op 41 Philadelphia Choral Arts Society, conductor Charles Dutoit
