rarely heard Rimsky-Korsakov overtures and opera suites
"This disc offers some rarely heard Rimsky-Korsakov overtures and opera suites (actually, this Maid of Pskov suite stems from incidental music composed for a play of the same name, and not from the opera). ...the composer's remarkable penchant for vividly coloristic orchestration is always on display, especially in the exotic imagery of The Legend of the Invisible City of Kitezh and in the early Fantasia on Serbian Themes. ...Igor Golovchin and the Moscow Symphony Orchestra play the music with a wonderfully home-grown authenticity you won't find anywhere in the West. If you're interested in this music, this is how you should hear it."
