Oh yeah, Ralph, I own this one too. A good recording of an outstanding pieceDvorak, Symphony No. 9. A new release from TELARC with Paavo Jarvi leading the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra. A very good performance of this rarely recorded piece.

Corlyss, are you reading what I've written at all? It's rather sad, having had expressed and shared so much to just see it run down the drain. And by 'transforming' I meant the continuation of gradual introduction of private property and market values, the resulting emergence of a strong middle-clas...

Barry Z It is a mistake to think that Soviet Union was just that evil.

The word "rahman" in "Rachmaninov" has two different inheritance suffixes, the first one being "-in", and the 2nd - "-ov". Both are slavic, but from different regions, so it's easy to guess that the semitic in origin lastname is rather far from its roots - having been modified at least twice. As for...

Again, you are speaking about spelling, young lad. All non-sonorants (the term I once learnt) are voicless word-finally in Russian, and most Slavic languages. People normally don't emphasize the last sound in a word or name such as Rachmanino*'s unless it is for a special reason. I imagine that thi...

There is no need to deliberately pronounce the final -v as an "f", it will sound ok both ways :) If you emphasize on the "f" though, it'll be weird :p The -ff trend isn't originally for representing russian pronunciation at all, I may suggest. It is rather a germanisation/scandinavisation of russian...

Well, i'd say that Rachmaninov matches the russian pronunciation better than Rachmaninoff. Those -off suffixes were adopted a lot by emigrants from Russia, true. Mostly by those who had moved to Germany, Holland, Denmark etc. But to a russian ear this version looks and sounds as a funny foreign dist...
