Rozhdestvensky's direction is adroit, affectionate and imaginative - Gramophone
"He [Rozhdestvensky] certainly gets a marvellous response from the Swedish players, and characteristically his performances are stimulating and thought-provoking… Rozhdestvensky's direction is adroit, affectionate and imaginative and the extraordinary beauty and poignancy of Grieg's inspiration is revealed very clearly."
(Gramophone)
Rozhdestvensky's programme on this disc includes the magnificent Symphonic Dances, a work full of colour and melody; the memorable three orchestral pieces from Sigurd Jorsalfar; and the haunting orchestral songs, superbly sung by Solveig Kringelborn.
These acclaimed performances by the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra under Gennady Rozhdestvensky perfectly capture the full colour of this music.
Symphonic Dances, Op. 64
