About

Brilliant Classics presents a new addition to the popular series of historic Russian radio recordings, Evgeny Mravinsky, with no less than 10 CDs to demonstrate his great art.

Conductor Evgeny Mravinsky has become a legend. This Russian musician died in 1988 but his name is still well known worldwide. Until his death, he held the post of chief conductor of the elite Leningrad Philharmonic Orchestra for an incredible 50 years. He left behind numerous recordings of his moving interpretations. After 1961, he only allowed live performances to be recorded.

Thus, most of the recordings in this set, made between 1946 and 1983, are of actual concerts. Russian composers took a prominent position in Mravinsky’s repertoire. In fact, the majority of the works in this set are Russian, ranging from Mussorgsky to Liadov and from Prokofiev to Zhivotov.
