Schubert: String Quartet No.14 in D minor, D.810 I Shostakovich: Chamber Symphony, Op.110A (CD)
„A quartet for string orchestra! This will sound strange to you. I already know all objections that will be raised: the destruction of intimacy, of individuality. But this would be mistaken. What I intend is nothing but an ideal representation of the quartet.“ (Gustav Mahler, 1899)

Sergei Rachmaninov: Symphony No. 2 in E minor, op. 27 I The Rock, Symphonic Poem op. 7 by Academic Symphony Orchestra of the St. Petersburg Philharmonia / Alexander Dmitriev (CD)
Made in Germany“. Maybe it sounds strange at first glance to headline a symphony of the Russian composer Sergei Rachmaninov like this. However, if one looks closer to the genesis of his Second Symphony there is some good reason for it since he wrote it during his stay in Dresden.

Djansug Kakhidze The Legacy Vol. 8 by Nodar Gabunia, Piano / Tbilisi Symphony Orchestra / Djansug Kakhidze (CD)
Reminiscence of the famous Georgian conductor Djansug Kakhidze on the occasion of his 80th anniversary two years ago. He belonged to the small but highly prestigious group of East European conductors who set up a cultural counterdraft to the political conflicts in the times of cold war. He conducted almost every A class symphony orchestra of his hemisphere and became a much-vaunted advocate of late romantic orchestral repertoire. Mvravinsky adored him for his Tchaikovsky interpretations and the Neue Zürcher Zeitung called him respectfully „the Georgian Karajan“. And indeed, although most comparisons go lame there were some similarities: the economical gestures, the endless working on sound perfection, the passion for big dynamics and a great affection for the Golden Age of classic and romantic music.

In Memory by Stahlhammer Klezmer Classic Trio (CD)
The Stahlhammer Klezmer Band, consisting of Semmy′s grandfather and uncles, was founded 1920 in the Lublin area in Poland. The orchestra gave concerts and played at parties until 1939. In the old picture the musicians are seen with mandolins, guitars and balalaikas, but they also played violin, cello, bass, harmonica, trumpet and drums. The ensemble played traditional Jewish Eastern European party music, what we today call klezmer, but they also played music that was popular at the time and whatever they liked.

Mikhail Glinka: Waltz Fantasy I Kamarinskaya I Divertimenti on a theme by Bellini I Grand Sextet by St. Petersburg Camerata / Saulius Sondeckis / Igor Uryash, Piano (CD)
This album presents four magnificent orchestral works by Mikahil Glinka, allowing an insight into his workshop at an early stage of his creative development. It reflects the encounter of Russian music tradition by form and genre – songs and dances – with the Italian art of singing – the belcanto – which Glinka became acquainted with during his years of travel. As of 1830 he spent three years in Italy to enhance his knowledge of the Italian opera. In this time he met in Milan Vincenzo Bellini and Gaetano Donizetti, getting familiar with the art of belcanto, which he later combined with the Russian vocal tradition thus creating the personal Glinka style.

Peter Tchaikovsky: String Quartet No. 1 in D minor, op. 11 I String Quartet No. 3 in E flat minor, op. 30 by New Philharmonic Quartet (CD)
Tchaikovsky’s three quartets were written during one fiveyear period, a time of rapid growth and maturing of his talent and creativity. Just as he pointed in one of his newspaper reviews to the love and attention which Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven had lavished on this “modest form of music, which, in the narrow confines of four bowed instruments, provides for the richest development of musical ideas,” Tchaikovsky’s own approach to chamber music was similarly serious and profound. His quartets combine the exquisite, refined sonorities of an ensemble with truly symphonic development and an amazingly warm and accessible musical language.

Peter Tchaikovsky: Variations on a Rokoko Theme, Op. 33 I Antonio Vivaldi: Cello Concerto in C major, RV 398, Cello Concerto in G major, RV 413, Cello Concerto in C minor, RV 401 by Sergej Roldugin (Digital Album)
Artists normally aim at success, they like to become famous and want to play a prominent role on the top pages of mass media of the widest circulation. In this actual case our artist is getting all this, however, the context is pretty mediocre: Sergei Ruldogin is hitting the headlines of worldwide publications because of his supposed involvement into doubtful business practice currrently well known as Panama Papers.

Rimsky-Korsakov: Sheherazade – Symphonic Suite Op.35 I The Golden Cockerel – Suite from the Opera by St. Petersburg Radio and TV Symph. Orch./Acad. Symph. Orch. of the St. Petersburg Philh. (CD)
Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov is renowned as a teller of musical tales. More than half of his 15 operas are based on fairy-tales: The Snow Maiden, Kaschey the Immortal, The Legend of Tsar Saltan and The Golden Cockerel to name but a few. Another of his most popular works is surely his symphonic suite Sheherazade, based on the tales of The Thousand and One Nights.

The album closes with a world premiere recording: Lagidzes Rondo Toccata, which builds a highly virtuoso bridge to the Schumann Toccata, sprinkling some Georgian spice over the German romantic repertoire. The Georgian born pianist, Dudana Mazmanishvili, received her first piano lessons, at age 3, from her mother Tamar Apakidze.
