| |  | Eugene Ormandy Conducts Tchaikovsky and MussorgskyRecorded live at the Academy of Music, Philadelphia, 1978 (Mussorgsky) / 1979 (Tchaikovsky)
Kirk Browning, Director Famous violinist Itzhak Perlman and Eugene Ormandy, long-standing conductor of the Philadelphia Orchestra recorded this fantastic Russian program live at the Academy of Music, Philadelphia, in 1978 and 1979 in extraordinary sound quality. Modest Mussogorsky’s most famous piano composition Pictures at an Exhibition which is deemed to be one of Ormandy’s specialties is orchestrated in the acclaimed Ravel version. Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto, which is considered as one of the best known and technically most challenging works for violin, is performed by Itzhak Perlman - undeniably the reigning virtuoso of the violin – who has also been called “one of the greatest musical talents to emerge since World War II” according to violin expert Tully Potter, New Grove. The concert is directed by the Peabody Award winner Kirk Browning, who is highly acclaimed for staging classical concerts due to his long-time experience as television director and producer.

Recorded: Glyndebourne 1999 “Glyndebourne under the regime of director Graham Vick now looks ideal for Tchaikovsky's 'lyric scenes'. The bare wooden floors, open skies and distancing curtains of Richard Hudson's sets… allow us to focus on the intense characterisations. Will there ever be a Tatyana closer to the ideal of Pushkin's impulsive heroine than Elena Prokina? Every movement, every facial gesture speaks of a teenage girl - and later a barely-repressed society lady - with an intense inner life... Martin Thompson's Lensky fills the poet's raptures and despair with luminous candour, and Wojciech Drabowicz captures the torment of Onegin's too-late love for the girl he once rejected... Andrew Davis's buoyant conducting makes sure the uneventful opening scene and the final big duet move along without a hint of torpor or forced rhetoric.” BBC Music Magazine, February 2006 ***** | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |
