Prince Rostislav is a progressive orchestral work composed by a young S. Rachmaninoff during his studies at the Moscow Conservatory. It was supposedly completed in December of 1891 and builds upon the ballad of the same name written by A. K. Tolstoy.

Listen to that terrific harmonic progression starting at 12:18: It's A-flat to D-flat to F major to A maj to b-flat minor (w/6) finally to the home key of d minor. This is just absolute genius and for an 18 year old it's just stunning.

I would love to know which orchestra under which conductor plays this

I'm pretty sure it's Vladimir Ashkenazy conducting the Sydney Symphony Orchestra, from a set of Rachmaninov complete symphonies and orchestral works (the CDs I think are deleted but it's still available on mp3). You'd have to download the whole lot to get it, but it's not very expensive.

If this doesn't prove Rachmaninoff was a genius of the caliber of Liszt and Mendelssohn I don't know what will. Musicians are quick to dismiss Rach as a great pianist who dabbled in composing and nothing could be further from the truth. talk about atmospheric. You can see vampires gliding down gloomy hallways in deserted ruins of long-abandoned castles in the opening and closing of this masterpiece. And Rach never got a chance to hear it. He composed it and put in away. What a guy.
