“This is a full-blooded performance of Verdi’s late work … Full marks for passion”

The Daiy Telegraph

   

 

         

Signum Records are proud to present the first release in a new series of live orchestral recordings featuring the illustrious St Petersburg Philharmonic Orchestra, led by their chief conductor Yuri Temirkanov. These new recordings have been made possible thanks to the recent refurbishment of their home concert venue, the Grand Philharmonic Hall, allowing many of us to hear for the first time the excitement of the Philharmonic’s performances in their resident city of St Petersburg. This release will be followed later in the year with their live performance of Shostakovich’s Symphony No. 7 (Leningrad).

“The orchestra moved like a single unit, swelling and surging, natural rubato raising tension, pacing and placing impeccably judged.”
The Independent
