| | 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.

Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, Paavo Jarvi "The music on this recording is highly charged and very emotional,” says Paavo Järvi. “Tchaikovsky, who experienced many ups and downs in his life, was a master at putting his own intense feelings into his compositions. Listeners can hear this especially in his Sixth Symphony and his musical depiction of the timeless love story of Romeo and Juliet.” | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

| |  | Tchaikovsky - Overtures & Fantasies
Orchestra e Coro Dell’ Accademia Di Santa Cecilia, Antonio Pappano Like the very best music
directors, you can’t
pigeon-hole Antonio
Pappano. He may have
made his name with
Puccini but he’s got an
instinctive feel for
structure and for style
that makes him good at
most things. His
Tchaikovsky doesn’t
disappoint, full of vigour,
of tunefulness. - Gramophone Magazine | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |
