Summary: a spectacular recording by naxos- russian fireworks
Comment: I have long been looking for such a collection, put together in
an attractive form. Mussorgsky's Gopak and Persian Dance I haven't heard in years and could'n find any recordings of them.
The Liadov Russian folksongs I haven't heard before and they are
charming and lovingly played. The well known three symphonic poems also by Liadov are very well performed under Steven Gutzen-
hauser,these are up to any international standard. The Procession
.. by Ippolitov Ivanov is a knock-out, a great way to start the record. Similarly the Entrance of the Boyars by Halvordsen,though
he is not Russian is a great way to end the collection. Throughout the digital sound is first class. This is a three star Penguin Guide recording. I recommend this very enjoyable CD
to all music lovers.
