Synopsis
Album Description
Evgeni Svetlanov, along with Kondrashin and Rozhdestvensky, was one of the three most famous Russian conductors of the later 20th century. While A Night on Bald Mountain and the Polovtsian Dances are thrice familiar (and beloved), the other works on this colorful disc are rarer. Balakirev?s Suite in D minor is a skillful orchestration of four piano pieces by Chopin, which here sound surprisingly (and comfortably) Russian. The Destruction of Sennacherib is an independent choral cantata by Mussorgsky based on a poem by Byron. Jesus Navinus is another Mussorgsky choral piece, this time salvaged from his previously abandoned setting of the exotic novel Salammbô by Gustave Flaubert. These are original recordings from 1963-1985.
