About

Evgeny Svetlanov is one of the greatest conductors of the second half of the 20th century. Freed from the Soviet yoke, he gave a series of concerts with the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France that will be remembered by all those who attended.

To commemorate the 20th anniversary of his death, Warner Classics is releasing an album with two previously unreleased works: Stravinsky's Petrushka, which was at the heart of his repertoire, and a Poem for Violin of his own composition, in which Vadim Repin can be heard at his best. The quality of these recordings also allows us to hear Svetlanov's art in a sound quality that has never been heard before.

"Whoever has had the privilege of hearing a concert conducted by Evgeny Svetlanov at least once in his life has had the absolute musical Dionysian experience, that of the hurricane, of the breath-taking overflow, the quasi-mystical experience of a ritual trance in which the music becomes the sacred, the keystone of the entire universe!" – Jean-Marie Brohm, Répertoire, 2002
