NB: Whilst the track-listing on the product claims that this work is The Storm Overture, we have listened to the track whilst following a score and believe that it is in fact the Overture in C minor Op. 76 (which reworks themes from The Storm and begins in the same way).

“At his best, Svetlanov was well-nigh unbeatable in Russian repertoire and this superbly shaped and vibrantly dramatic version of Hamlet is a real highlight: there's an incendiary intensity to climaxes but such imaginative playing quieter moments too. The performances throughout this enterprising programme are at a comparable level of inspiration.”
