GENNADI RODHDESTVENSKY: Conducts Shostakovich (The Russian Archives) [CD de audio] USSR Radio & TV Symphony Orchestra, USSR Min

Descripción del producto A more authentic Shostakovich is difficult to imagine: for many years the Great Russian conductor Gennady Rozhdestvensky was in the circle of the composer, Dmitri Shostakovich, discussing and performing his works with him, and gaining insight in the multi-layered meanings of the symphonies, masterworks of the 20th century. Included are the great symphonies 7 'Leningrad', 9 & 10, the vocal cycle Michelangelo Suite (with the legendary bass Evgeny Nesterenko) and the Ballet Suite The Bolt.
