Moscow Soloists, Yuri Bashmet (director) Fourth release on ONYX from Moscow Soloists and this time it’s a popular disc of string favourites that have beein their repertoire from the very beginning: Grieg and Tchaikovskys’ homages to the forms of baroque and classical music and one of the favourite works from a composer who inspired them so much, Mozart’s Eine kleine Nachtmusik. This disc should be particularly easy to sell as the group play these works very often in concert as party-pieces. ONYX and Moscow Soloists have enjoyed a very successful run: their first two discs (ONYX4007/ONYX4017) won a Grammy Nomination and Grammy Award respectively and their most recent recording of Tan Dun and Takemitsu (ONYX4027) has got great reviews so far. Yuri Bashmet has also appeared on two other ONYX discs: his recent recital with Mikhail Muntian called Reminscences (ONYX4032) and as viola player in Julian Rachlin’s all-star Shostakovich disc (ONYX4026). |

| |  | Tchaikovsky - Symphony No. 2
Tchaikovsky: | Symphony No. 2 in C minor, Op. 17 'Little Russian' Tchaikovsky wrote his Second Symphony in the Ukraine, explaining the (unusual) abundance of
Ukrainian songs which form the thematic basis of this Symphony. This was not characteristic for
Tchaikovsky but led him to declare this his favourite Symphony despite it being less popular than
his others. Serenade for Strings in C major, Op. 48 |

| |  | Tchaikovsky - Symphony No. 4
Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra, Neeme Järvi We have now reached the 5th instalment in the cycle of Tchaikovsky’s symphonies with Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra conducted by Neeme Järvi. Symphony No.4, which – along with No.5 – Tchaikovsky himself often referred to in the context of ‘Fate’, symbolized by a ‘fate motif’ which opens the programme and is described by the composer as: ‘This is fate, destiny, that portentous power that will not permit our quest for happiness to be successful, that jealously stands guard so that our joyfulness and peace are neither perfect nor cloudless, that hangs like the sword of Damocles above our heads and constantly, continually poisons our soul.’ “… well heard though everything is, and satisfying though the tempi and their relationships to each other always are, I miss an element of volatility here, a romantic temperament wrestling with forces beyond his control.” Gramophone Magazine, October 2008 |
