Synopsis

Album Description

This CD was recorded at the 2004 London Proms; the St. Petersburg Philharmonic, Yuri Termirkanov, and the acclaimed Russian baritone Dmitri Hvorostovsky are ideal protagonists in this dramatic Russian repertoire. The St. Petersburg Philharmonic Orchestra is the oldest symphony orchestra in Russia and for the first time in the orchestra's history, they were able to select their own director. Yuri Termirkanov was appointed Artistic Director and Principal Conductor.

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I initially ordered this CD for the featured "Songs and Dances of Death" by Mussorgsky. It's always been one of my favorite song cycles. And in this gorgeous presentation by Yuri Temirkanov, I wasn't at all disappointed! (I'd never heard an orchestral version of the original piano accompaniment, but shouldn't have been surprised at its moody transformation by such a master as Dimitri Shostakovitch!) The "bonus" recording of Rachmaninov's "Symphonic Dances" was a real stunner -- a stylish rendition of a work that's sadly underplayed, in my opinion. My only complaint -- a damaged jewel case that makes opening and closing the CD a bit of a challenge."
