Famous for its rich and powerful "Philly Sound”, the orchestra was described by Rachmaninov as “the greatest virtuoso orchestra in the world”. Ormandy was a close friend of the composer, and it was to celebrate the conductor’s eightieth birthday that they performed Rachmaninov’s magnificent and powerful Second Symphony, a performance whose authenticity would be difficult to beat. Repertoire: Igor Stravinsky: The Firebird – Concert Suite for orchestra No. 2 (1919); Sergei Rachmaninov: Symphony No.2 in E minor, op.27
