About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

Romantic Russia is one of the most exciting recordings that the late Sir Georg Solti ever made: an anthology from 1966 featuring the London Symphony Orchestra in a blistering dash through Glinka's Overture to "Russlan and Ludmilla," an unusually tender and sinuously beautiful version of Mussorgsky's "Khovanschina" Prelude, and an especially terrifying recordings of that composer's "Night on Bald Mountain." Best of all, though, are the two excerpts from Alexander Borodin's unfinished opera "Prince Igor": the most dramatic version of the Overture currently available, and the one recorded performance of the "Polovtsian Dances" whose charm and erotic energy matches the classic version by Sir Thomas Beecham. The playing remains so electric and immediate, and the recorded sound has held up so remarkably well, that London can be forgiven for filling up the CD (which they didn't really need to do) with Solti's gruff and eccentric 1956 Paris recording of Tchaikovsky's "Little Russian" Symphony.
