| |  | Svetlanov Edition Volume 38
Svetlanov completed over 300 recordings, however the publication of the CDs was always rather chaotic, and there has never been a comprehensive collection of the great maestro’s recordings. Included in this collection is Svetlanov’s famous ‘Anthology of Russian music’ which has never been published in its entirety, as well as recordings by Svetlanov which are hitherto unknown. “I am delighted that Evgeny Svetlanov’s work has at long last been published in such a varied and structured form. I hope that this collection will become a gift for all those who love, understand and respect this wonderful, unique maestro. I would like to wish you an enjoyable and perhaps unexpected encounter with Evgeny Svetlanov, whose work has now become a universal artistic legacy.” Nina Svetlanova |

| |  | Notes InterditesTwo Films by Bruno Monsaingeon
| | The Red Baton Scenes of musical life in stalinist Russia. Between 1917 and 1990, the Soviet Union was the setting for a fascinating paradox upon which this film will attempt to shed some light. Against a backdrop of extreme hardship, indeed terror, there developed one of the most intense and rich musical arenas of the 20th century. Major composers, virtuoso performers, the most prestigious orchestras displayed their talent throughout these 70 years, in situations that were dangerous and precarious, often grotesque and always extreme Gennadi Rozhdestvensky: Conductor or Conjuror? Rather than a profile, this is a documentary about a conductor discussing and analysing what he knows best: the art of conducting. Featuring the following works: Shostakovich’s 7th Symphony (masterclasses, rehearsals with students from the Moscow Conservatory and Zurich’s Tonhalle orchestra, archival clips), Tchaikovsky’s Romeo and Juliet, and Schnittke’s Deal Souls | Prokofiev: | Zdravitsa (Hail to Stalin) Op. 85 | Schnittke: | Dead Souls | Shostakovich: | Symphony No. 7 in C major, Op. 60 'Leningrad' (masterclasses, rehearsals with students from the Moscow Conservatory and Zurich’s Tonhalle orchestra, archival clips) Tonhalle Orchestra, Zurich | Tchaikovsky: | Romeo & Juliet: Fantasy Overture |
Gennadi Rozhdestvensky, films directed by Bruno Monsaingeon “By starting with the elegiac big tune of Zdravitsa, Prokofiev's toast to Stalin's 60th birthday. Bruno Monsaingeon's The Red Baton threatens to follow an all too familiar path, tormenting the ghosts of the Soviet Union's leading composers with their most compromising party-pieces. Yet... what we hear are the Russian geniuses' darkest, most dangerous scores. Monsaingeon's film is full... spotlights Rozhdestvensky as a spokesman of scathing Gogolia irony. Conducting, he says, is all charisma and a highly professional art; you arrive at rehearsals with the score in your head, assess the orchestra's capabilities and do the bare minimum, saving inspiration for the concert.” BBC Music Magazine, August 2008 ***** | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |

Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, Mariss Jansons "This was a performance, played with the Concertgebouw's phenomenal spectrum of colouring, phrasing and
dynamic subtlety, that asserted the symphony's organic structural credentials and spoke of deep-seated,
human feelings throughout its ample 80-minute span. It was wonderful to have past reservations about the
symphony swept aside with such authority." The Daily Telegraph | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |
