"From the Bolshoi to La Scala, from the Stockholm Philharmonic to the Vienna Symphony, the forty-five-year carrier and notably famous supple stick technique of Gennady Rozhdestvensky have made him one of the most respected twentieth-century conductors in Europe.
BBC Philharmonic, Gennady Rozhdestvensky
This three-CD box set at Classic Chandos price celebrates his superb Enescu series with the BBC Philharmonic. The Romanian composer was one of the most prodigiously gifted musicians of the twentieth century: a great violinist and composer, a distinguished conductor, an accomplished pianist, able cellist, and a famous violin teacher. Although relatively modest, his published output contained some substantial works, such as the folk-inspired Romanian Rhapsodies and romantically influenced symphonies, all featured here.
Among the extensive discography of the conductor (more than 400 CDs), this box set will prove essential for every collector.
