NDR Radiophilharmonie - Tchaikovsky: Orchestral Suite No.3; Rimsky-Korsakov: Capriccio Espagno (CD)

A new page in the history of the NDR Radiophilharmonie opened in 2024 with the arrival of a sought-after chief conductor, Stanislav Kochanovsky. For harmonia mundi, he has chosen to explore a repertoire that he knows inside out, the music of nineteenth- and twentieth-century Russia. Here is a chance to hear an expert interpretation of the famous Capriccio espagnol alongside works by Tchaikovsky and Tcherepnin, perhaps less well-known but utterly thrilling.
