ICAC 5177

The key point about this release is that Arvīds Jansons’s recordings are extremely rare and will be sought after by collectors.

This 2CD set is the first to release Arvīds Jansons’s recordings with the celebrated Leningrad Philharmonic Orchestra.

The Leningrad Philharmonic was famous for it’s Tchaikovsky under Mravinsky. Jansons follows their example with intense but highly expressive performances, greeted by enthusiastic audiences at the Royal Albert Hall Proms and at the Royal Festival Hall in 1971.

The elegant performance of Prokofiev’s ‘Classical’ Symphony with the USSR Symphony Orchestra from 1983 on a UK tour has been included as a bonus.

Superb BBC stereo recordings beautifully remastered by Paul Baily, with detailed notes by Jean-Charles Hoffelé.

Works:

• Prokofiev: Symphony No. 1 in D major, Op. 25 'Classical'
• Tchaikovsky: Francesca da Rimini, Op. 32
• Tchaikovsky: Sleeping Beauty, Op. 66: Waltz
