The great violinist David Oistrakh realised his ambition to conduct in 1961and from then until his last concert in Moscow in 1974, combined solo and conducting work. A Viennese newspaper wrote “A world-known violinist being a top-class conductor at the same time is an extraordinary phenomenon.”
It was in 1961 when the great violinist Oistrakh realized his old dream of conducting for the first time. Since then, until his last concert in Moscow in October 1974, where Brahms’s second symphony was performed, the musician combined solo and conducting work appearing to his audiences as a conductor of the Orchestra of Moscow Philharmonic Society, Big Symphony Orchestra of All - Union Radio, and with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, Teatro alla Scala Orchestra and other celebrated collectives. “A world - known violinist being a top class conductor at the same time is an extraordinary phenomenon. And David Oistrakh is a remarkable conductor,” wrote one of the Viennese newspapers in 1966. This Firma Melodiya release features compositions by Édouard Lalo (Symphonie espagnole), Hector Berlioz (Harold in Italy) and Johannes Brahms (Violin concerto in D major, Op. 77 Symphony No. 2 in D major, Op. 73) performed by the Moscow Radio Symphony Orchestra and the Moscow Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by David Oistrakh.

The Prince Regent's Band (Richard Fomison, Richard Thomas, Anneke Scott, Phil Dale & Jeff Miller - saxhorns)
During the mid-nineteenth century the Distin Family blazed a trail across Europe and North America performing countless concerts and promoting new and exciting designs of brass instruments. thanks to a chance meeting with Adolphe Sax in Paris in 1844, they adopted the new valved brass instruments, and in particular the new saxhorn.
With The Celebrated Distin Family, period brass specialists The Prince Regent’s Band have recreated the lost Distin Family repertoire, performing on their unique collection of original saxhorns and other fascinating brass instruments of the period. |

The Philharmonia Orchestra is one of the world's great orchestras. Acknowledged as the UK's foremost musical pioneer, with an extraordinary recording legacy, the Philharmonia leads the field for its quality of playing, and for its innovative approach to audience development, residencies, music education and the use of new technologies in reaching a global audience. Together with its relationships with the world's most sought-after artists, most importantly its Principal Conductor and Artistic Advisor Esa-Pekka Salonen, the Philhamonia Orchestra is at the heart of British musical life.
Since September 2008 Salonen has been Principal Conductor and Artistic Advisor of the Philharmonia Orchestra. In his first season in this role he devised and led City of Dreams, a nine-month exploration of the music and culture of Vienna between 1900 and 1935. The project, which presented the music of Mahler, Schoenberg, Zemlinsky and Berg in its social and historical context, travelled to 18 cities across Europe, culminating in October 2009 with semi-staged performances of Berg's Wozzeck, with Simon Keenlyside in the title role. A series of recordings from the project is being released on the Philharmonia/Signum label, of which Gurrelieder is already available. |
