Rachmaninov allegedly considered The Bells to be his best work, and it is not difficult to hear why. Written in 1913, there is a freshness of invention that is irresistible. Perhaps the text (an adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe) struck a chord with this composer's sensibilities: different bells symbolise different facets of existence. This piece deserves more frequent airing, and it is to be hoped that Pletnev and his Russian forces help raise awareness of this. The soloists are superb (Mescheriakova is particularly impressive), but the real star is the Moscow State Chamber Choir.

This has now been remastered and reissued by Decca under the Legendary Performances banner together with the orchestral interlude and dance from Falla's first opera, La vida breve, and the complete ballet music from Love the Magician, the...
