performed by Chantal Juillet (violin), Guy Fouquet (cello), Henryk Szeryng (violin), Leningrad Military District Headquarters Band (percussion), Rafael Orozco (piano), St. Petersburg Chamber Choir (choir, chorus)
composed by Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky

It would be too easy to poke holes in this collection called Ultimate Tchaikovsky. Described as "Classic performances of his essential masterpieces," one could dispute both the performances and, to a lesser extent, the repertoire. Fine as it is, could one really call Rafael Orozco's performance of the Piano Concerto No. 1 a classic -- or, loud as ...

composed by Sergey Prokofiev

Although there are superb recordings of Prokofiev's Alexander Nevsky Cantata out in the world, none of them can beat this 1993 recording by Yuri Temirkanov and the St. Petersburg Philharmonic. First, the sound is unbelievably clear and vivid and immediate: there are moments when you'll swear the tympani are in the room with you. Second, the ...

Evening Star: The Rachmaninov Vespers (1994) more music like this

performed by Olga Borodina (mezzo-soprano), St. Petersburg Chamber Choir (choir, chorus)
composed by Sergey Rachmaninov

While there are plenty of contestants these days for the top spot in the "who's got the best recording of Rachmaninov Vespers?" competition, one could persuasively argue that this 1994 recording with Nikolai Korniev directing the St. Petersburg Chamber Choir is the best. First, of course, the choir is Russian, which means that they've got the ...

Kancheli: Styx; Gubaidulina: Viola Concerto more music like this

performed by Yuri Bashmet (viola), St. Petersburg Chamber Choir (choir, chorus), Mariinsky (Kirov) Theater Orchestra, Valery Gergiev (conductor)
composed by Giya Kancheli, Sofia Gubaidulina

This pair of single-movement viola concertos written for Yuri Bashmet justify his renown. In both, he is able to draw an impressive variety of expressions from his instrument with seeming ease. On the other hand, it's obvious there was a lot of thought and care put into his interpretations. The concertos need thoughtful interpretations by the ...
