This exceptional concert series, recorded live from the Alte Oper Frankfurt, features the leading Russian conductor Vladimir Fedoseyev and the Moscow Radio Symphony Orchestra. They are joined by international guest soloists who include the brilliant Japanese violinist Kyoko Takezawa and Brazilian cellist and Tchaikovsky Competition Gold Medallist Antonio Meneses. Antonio Meneses, the cello soloist in the bewitchingly enchanting Rococo Varioations was highly praised on a previous recording by MusicWeb `Meneses conveys a magical quality to the opening Adagio with playing both heart-felt and tender and in the closing Allegro his reading is bold and compelling.…. I just loved the luxuriant timbre of Antonio Meneses’s 1730 cello by Alessandro Gagliano of Naples.´ Considered today to be one of Russia’s leading orchestras, the Moscow Radio Symphony Orchestra was formed in 1978 by the composer Alexander Mikyailov, who became its resident conductor. Its eighty members, with numerous international prizewinners among them, ensure a high standard of performance, and appropriately enough here convene to play the music of their great kinsman, Tchaikovsky.Technical information Sound Format PCM Stereo / Picture Format 43 / Menu Languages GB, D, F, SP / Running Time 90min / DVD 9 NTSC / Region Code 0
