Evgeny SvetlanovAbout
These live recordings are issued for the first time on CD.
The performance of Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No.1 in April 2002 with the BBC Symphony Orchestra was the last concert he gave in London before his death two months later. Svetlanov’s studio-made Tchaikovsky recordings with the USSR Symphony Orchestra for Melodiya in the 1960s were the cornerstones of the catalogue at the time and he brings an unqualified authority to the Barbican concert recorded here.
Stravinsky’s Firebird ballet (1945) was a comparative rarity for Svetlanov but, given his earlier position with the Bolshoi, he had a unique understanding of ballet conducting. It is a superbly detailed and imaginative account, with the Philharmonia on tremendous form.
The digital sound recorded in the Barbican for both performances is totally natural and warm.
