The Tchaikovsky Cycle Volume II

Hailed by the press as "the definitive video production" of Tchaikovsky's music, this exceptional concert series, recorded live from the Alte Oper Frankfurt, features the leading Russian conductor Vladimir Fedoseyev and the Moscow Radio Symphony Orchestra. Fedoseyev's perceptive reading of the works of his fellow countryman, the masterly playing of the orchestra and guest soloists combine to produce performances which are revelatory in their execution and understanding of Tchaikovsky's music and the Russian heritage. They are joined by international guest soloists who include the brilliant Russian violinist Viktor Tretyakov, Brazilian cellist and Tchaikovsky Competition Gold Medallist Antonio Meneses, acclaimed Russian pianist Mikhail Pletnev, soprano Lydia Shernikh and baritone Alexander Nenadovsky.
