About

Igor Markevitch leads works that remained a substantial challenge for any orchestra in the 1950s. Markevitch was considered the most accomplished conductor of The Rite at the time for he, like no other, was able to master the rhythmical and technical complexities of this score.

A special relationship with the young RIAS Symphony Orchestra is also demonstrated by the immaculate, virtuoso interpretations of Daphnis et Chloé and Honegger's Fifth Symphony, which Markevitch introduced to Berlin less than a year after its world-première in Boston.

Recorded live in Berlin, 1952.
