RUSSIAN CARNIVAL

BURNING RIVER BRASS

xCD-90293 Cover


Back in the late '60s, after conducting a rip-snorting performance of "Pictures at an Exhibition," conductor Leopold Stokowski turned to the applauding Carnegie Hall audience and shouted, "Wonderful Russian music!"   At which the audience stood and cheered.

Russian music has excited similar passions for centuries, politics aside.

This recording collects music by some of the best-known Russian composers of the 19th and 20th centuries - and adds a new work by an American composer strongly influenced by the Russians.       - Byron A. Nilsson
