Antonio Pappano continues what has beenan impressive career so far with this newrecording. Beginning with Lyadov’s TheEnchanted Lake, Pappano delivers a delicatereading of this haunting minature. He moveseffortlessly into a beautiful performance ofthe second symphony of Rachmaninoff. Thenature of this piece can lead to an over-sentimentalHollywood type performance, butPappano never lets this happen. He deliversmagnificently.
