Kirill Kondrashin, Herman Krebbers & Concertgebouw Orchestra Amsterdam Rimsky-Korsakov: Scheherazade Hybrid Stereo SACD

Numbered, Limited Edition Hybrid SACD!
Born in Moscow in 1914, Kirill Kondrashin was one of the first prominent Russian conductors to perform worldwide and be engaged as a guest conductor. This recording is the document of his outstanding work with the orchestra of the Concertgebouw Amsterdam. Wherever he worked, Kondrashin transformed the musicians under his direction into a versatile powerhouse with rich string and lush brass sounds.
This recording of Rimsky-Korsakov's "Scheherazade" is rightly considered one of the most exciting recordings of the work of all time. Highly recommended!
