Russian Archives
Brilliant Classics’ Russian Archives series is a treasure trove of previously un-released recordings from 20th century Russia!
Mined from the archives of Russian State Radio (Gosteleradio), these recordings preserve artistic treasures from an age of unparalleled musical artistry. The series captures live performances of red-hot intensity rarely experienced today from such legendary musicians as Sviatoslav Richter, Emil Gilels, Mstislav Rostropovich and David Oistrakh. The Russian Archives series is a recorded history of monumental proportion and inestimable value!
Each multiple-CD set offers a booklet containing a biography of the artist(s), English texts and extensive music notes, many by the distinguished music writer Ates Orga.
