Hobart Earle - Raykhelson: Orchestral Music, Vol. 3 (2014)

A Fanfare review described Igor Raykhelson's music — in the Toccata Classics release of his Violin and Viola Concertos — as 'a world of unreconstructed and unapologetic Romanticism'; two customer reviews on Amazon wrote of 'beautiful music that draws me into another zone' and 'a delicate, airy beauty that is unique in modern classical music'. Raykhelson's concertos for piano (2007) and cello (2010), written for the two soloists on this recording, maintain the emphasis on a melodic language with its roots in the music of Rachmaninov and Prokofiev.
