Music: Russian Classics

This Soros Foundation-supported project contains over two dozen recordings by some of Russian's most prominent soloists and bands. Examples include piano pieces, such as Chopin's waltzes by Nahum Shtarkman, Rachmaninoff by Andrei Diev and Listz by Alexis Golovin, orchestral works such as Tchaikovsky Symphony Orchestra of Moscow Radio playing Bruckner's Fourth, and lovely Russian choral music by a host of composers as performed by the Russian State Chamber Choir Komi. Also here, the 1958 recording of the Laureates of the First Tchaikovsky Competition, with a performance by Van Cliburn. <http://classical.music.ru/>
