Spin this record of Tchaikovsky’s fifth symphony played at a 1971 live concert at the Royal Albert Hall by the Leningrad Symphony and you will see what we are missing.
Lebrecht Weekly | Gidon Kremer: Songs of Fate (ECM)
In half a century of making records, Songs of Fate is Kremer’s most personal release – an austere and uplifting record imbued with humanity and idealism.
