Warner Classics: 2564696898Svetlanov Edition Volume 35 |
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Svetlanov undertook the formidable project of recording the complete Miaskovsky orchestral music with the orchestra he had led for nearly three decades, the Russian Federation Academic Symphony Orchestra (previously known as the USSR State Symphony Orchestra). The recordings were made in the early 1990s in a partnership between Svetlanov and the UK's Olympia Records, and the first ten volumes were issued to critical acclaim. However, Olympia went out of business soon after that and collectors have been waiting for the remainder since. Last year budget label Alto bought up the rights to the remaining few and have now got up to volume 13 but it is still not yet complete and the first 10 volumes are currently unavailable. This box set then represents a hugely important release. It is the only complete set of the symphonies available and will almost inevitably cause a major re-evaluation of Miaskovsky's work. And at a such a great price it is not to be missed! |

USSR State Symphony & Orchestra Symphony Orchestra of the Russian Federation Evgeny Svetlanov “…if Myaskovsky ultimately remains a flawed genius, there is little doubt that his symphonic journey offers far more peaks than troughs. …the conductor's passionate commitment to the music carries one through those few moments where the ensemble may be less than ideal.” BBC Music Magazine, August 2008 **** | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |
