Svetlanova:
Warner Classics has produced a unique collection. Admirers of Evgeny Svetlanov
are of course familiar with his numerous recordings, as he completed over
300. However the publication of the CDs was always rather chaotic. There
was no full, comprehensive collection of the great maestro’s recordings,
and music lovers mainly remember the extraordinary energy devoted by Svetlanov
to his “Anthology of Russian music”, in which Russians take
great pride and which has never been published in its entirety. This collection
also includes recordings by Svetlanov which were hitherto unknown, for example
the oratorios of Shaporin, Taneyev and Kostalsky. The British remember Svetlanov’s
unrelenting efforts to promote the work of the famous composer Edward Elgar.
The Swedes recollect that Svetlanov championed many of the works of their
most famous romantic composers, namely Berwald and Alfven.
In Moscow, his concert performances of French Classical music have become
legendary: they included Honegger’s Joan at the Stake, Messiaen’s
Turangalîla-Symphony, as well as works by Chausson, Roussel and Dukas
rarely performed in their native land. Evgeny Svetlanov was one of the few
Russian conductors who recorded the complete symphonies of Mahler or Villa-Lobos’
remarkable symphonic poem for voice The Amazon Forest. This collection also
reveals Evgeny Svetlanov as a pianist, chamber musician and composer.
I am delighted that Evgeny Svetlanov’s work has at long last been
published in such a varied and structured form. I hope that this collection
will become a gift for all those who love, understand and respect this wonderful,
unique maestro.
I would like to wish you an enjoyable and perhaps unexpected encounter with
Evgeny Svetlanov, whose work has now become a universal artistic legacy.
