About

Kirill Kondrashin and the Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks: what had been planned as a happy relationship between the significant representative of the Russian conducting school and the first-class Munich ensemble ended tragically with the sudden death of the conductor before he could assume the position of Chief Conductor of the orchestra. All the more significant is thus this sound document. The live recording made at concerts in Munich’s Herkulessaal comprises an exciting programme that juxtaposes two late romantic works from different symphonic cultures: Rimsky-Korsakov’s “Russian Easter” Overture and César Franck’s only Symphony, in D minor.

Live recordings, Munich, Herkulessaal, 7 & 8 February 1980
