Russian Violin Concertos, Glazunov / Prokofiev / Russian National Orchestra, CD

This remarkable album marks the recording debut of German violinist Julia Fischer as well as the beginning of her extraordinary partnership with Russian-born conductor Yakov Kreizberg, which would result in numerous Pentatone releases before the conductor's untimely death in 2011. Together they tackle three Russian violin concertos (by Khachaturian, Prokofiev and Glazunov) which have been tragically overlooked, shedding new light on these masterpieces. After releases on SACD and vinyl, this iconic album now returns in an affordable stereo version.
