The Quartetto Italiano is regarded as one of the finest string quartets of the twentieth century. They were formed officially in 1945. By the early 1950s, they had achieved a measure of international celebrity, and by the 1960s the ensemble had developed a world-class reputation. Here we have some rare BBC live performances from 1965 given in the Royal Festival Hall. They are recorded in excellent stereo and issued for the very first time. Album Tracks 1. I. Presto 2. II.

Alexander Rudin and the Ural Youth Symphony Orchestra here present two symphonies by Nikolai Myaskovsky - one of the most undiscovered composers of the 20th century. In his creative legacy, Myaskovsky equals his more famous contemporaries - Prokofiev and Shostakovich. Rudin has been deeply attached to Myaskovsky's works for a long time; InchI have been playing and recording his compositions for more than thirty years... Myaskovsky hardly ever lowered his standards of sincerity, noble taste, extraordinary depth and tragedy. He is an amazing composer, whose works cannot perhaps be immediately understood by everyone. You have to enter into his music and listen to it with an open heart. There is nothing funky about it and many of it's connotations are encoded; the music is introverted and thus reflects the personality of the composer. It nonetheless makes a very strong impression and can provide the answers to the questions we face todayInch Album Tracks 1. Symphony No. 17 in G Sharp minor, Op. 41 2. Symphony No. 20 in E Major, Op. 50
